For "Carmen" and "Walpurgic Night" It's every choreographer's dream to stage "Carmen" and "Walpurgis Night\," as they are two beautiful works by two great artists\, George Bizet and Charles Gounod. When the artistic director of the National ballet\, Olga Pango\, offered me a co-operation on these two pieces\, I accepted without thinking and immediately began preparing the choreography. This assignment required a special inspiration from me\, as these two pieces have an existing choreography by world-renowned choreographers\, such as Alberto Alonso\, Balanchine\, Mats Esk ect. When I started doing the choreography\, I realized that I didn't even know the ballet ensemble of the National ballet and my creativity was always better when I was choreographing ballet dancers I knew personally. So I was preparing a lot at home\, just myself and the music. And from there\, when I started working with the ballet in Skopje\, I knew exactly what I wanted to do. Combining different styles of movement\, I want to present pure\, neoclassical\, complex technical and exciting choreography to the Macedonian audience. I would like to point out that I have received enormous support from the wonderful ballet ensemble of the National Opera and Ballet.\n\n"Carmen" - Georges Bizet and Rodion Shchedrin \n(ballet)\nLibreto\n \nAct 1 \n \nSquare in Seville. Carmen is amongst the people\, arguing with her rival. Officer Don Jose’s soldiers are ordered by General Huniga to arrest Carmen. The cunning Carmen\, by looking in the young officer’s eyes\, seduces him in order to get out of prison. She succeeds by playing pas de deux. Jose releases Carmen\, but follows him a jail by Juniga’s orders\, for breaking his military oath. Jose’s responds with deserting the military. \n \nAct 2 \nLilas Pastia’s tavern. Carmen arrives. Passionate atmosphere. The bullfighting hero\, trooper Eskamilo enters and immediately notices Carmen. He does not care about the other girls. They begin a fierce duet with Carmen\, which is full of passion and promises. Carmen is on the path of new love. The scene is interrupted by the entrance of Don Jose\, who immediately realizes that his illusions of eternal love are over. He realises Carmen’s infidelity which leads him to despair. He enters into a duel with Eskamilo\, but he finds himself quickly on the floor. However\, Carmen is not insensitive. She interrupt the duel and plays with Don Jose\, in the play she tells him that their love is over.  Jose leaves with painted feelings. Carmen is alone with her thoughts. \n \n\n\nAct 3\nScene in front of the Seville Arena. Carmen arrives to meet Eskamilio\, but is met by the irreconcilable Don Jose\, powerlessness and jealous\, determined to kill Eskamilio. Guided by his despair and helplessness\, he sees Escamillo and attacks him with a knife. But fate gives him the final blow. Instead\, Eskamillo he stabs Carmen\, who tries to separate them. She falls in front of Don Jose\, filled with blood.\n\n\n"Walpurgis Night" - Charles Gounod\n(Ballet part of Charles Gounod's Faust opera)\nOn January 27\, 1949\, is the ensemble's first solo ballet performance\, with "Walpurgic Night”\, part of Charles Gounod's Faust opera\, choreographed by George Makedonski. In 1949 the Macedonian National Theater officially forms the Ballet.\n
