Havana | Carmen Bizet

No man can resist the charms of opera’s ultimate seductress Carmen.

No man can resist the charms of opera’s ultimate seductress Carmen. Carefree and spirited she is determined to keep her independence, so when she enchants the soldier, Don José who sacrifices his old life for her, she is unprepared for the events that will evolve. Bored, she turns her attention to the handsome Escamillo, and Don José’s jealousy erupts into a thrilling finale.

Jo Davies’ new production, set in 1970s Central America, will bring all the passion and drama expected of this iconic opera. Bizet’s alluring music, from the famous Toreador Song to Carmen’s provocative Habanera, exposes the emotion of the characters to create a tension that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Carmen by Bizet, Tue 26 Nov 2019, From (2019/2020), Directed by Jo Davies, Christopher Moon-Little,, Conductor Harry Ogg, Tianyi Lu, Wales Millennium Centre, Cardiff, United Kingdom
