Carmen‘s drive to live freely and independently brings her into deadly conflict with the world of male violence and control, as those who desire her seek to destroy her. ​
 
Festival Music Director Bertie Baigent (The Elixir of Love, The Marriage of Figaro) will conduct five performances of Bizet’s passionate opera on the front lawn at Waterperry House. Anna Morrissey directs a bold production full of fiery movement and spectacle, alongside Designer Charlotte Henery (The Marriage of Figaro), Lighting Designer Ryan Day and Sound Designer Will Thompson on behalf of Show Works.
