Carmen is a sizzling seductress—but when you play with fire, you’re going to get burned! Naïve young soldier Don José falls for her, shunning his childhood sweetheart Micaëla in favor of a life of passion and crime with Carmen. But when she abandons him for the charismatic bullfighter Escamillo, jealousy ignites and Don José is pushed to murderous acts.

Peter Brook’s gripping, 90-minute adaptation of Bizet’s opera retains all of your favorite tunes but brings the story back to its origins of sexual intrigue, power and complexity. Carmen’s embrace of her dark fate is elevated from an act of submission to an assertion of power. Karen Tiller returns to direct the HOT debuts of Ashley Dixon as Carmen, Kyle van Schoonhoven as Don José, Christian Pursell as Escamillo, and Maria Valdes as Micaëla, with Emily Senturia conducting.
