Don José throws over everything, career, honour, family, even his childhood sweetheart Micaëla, for a doomed love affair with the gypsy Carmen.Ĭarmen, one of the most performed operas in the world, is a timeless story about passion, destiny but above all freedom - liberty! - and one unforgettable woman who lives and loves by it, a man consumed by her, and the woman who tries to save him.
Combining Spanish passion with French lyricism, Bizet’s melodies linger in your ears and heart long after you leave the theatre. Georges Bizet’s Carmen is the opera for everyone.
