In a remote Spanish town, the free-spirited Carmen declares that any man she loves should beware. But even she is unprepared for what happens when she decides to seduce police officer Don José...
Damiano Michieletto’s 'compelling' (BroadwayWorld, 5*) production returns to the Royal Opera House, casting a new light on the passion and violence of Bizet’s ever-popular opera. With a host of Spanish-inspired melodies – some of the most instantly recognisable in all classical music – this seductive drama is not to be missed.
