Nicholas Britell and Benjamin Millepied On Their Unique Adaptation of 'Carmen'

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Apr 18, 2023

The new film "Carmen" adapts the classic opera into a spectacle of dance and song to tell the story of Carmen, a young woman (Melissa Barrera) escaping the cartel in Mexico who falls in love with a US veteran named Aidan (Paul Mescal). The film features a brand new score from composer Nicholas Britell, and is choreographed and directed by Benjamin Millepied. Both join us to discuss the film, in New York and Los Angeles theaters on April 21st.
