CARMEN

Carmen turns Jose's life upside down, she dances, sings and overcomes many adversities until she is stabbed to death on the ground. Who or what drives this woman, of whom everyone seems to have a different image? Barrie Kosky's production of Carmen from the 2015/16 season has long since achieved cult status. Instead of common clichés and nostalgic folklore, the director puts a breathtaking revue of dramatic depth and cheeky wit on the stage. By looking at the original version of the opera and with the help of texts from the time it was composed, a completely new view of one of the most frequently performed operas in the international repertoire is achieved - an evening that will be remembered.
