Her popularity is not limited to the opera stage. It has expanded the repertoire of theatrical drama music, exists in piano transcriptions, and also in cinematic versions (the latest and most successful Carmen Jones is based on an operetta version that was a hit on Broadway). It is not difficult to see the reason for such popularity. There are many great melodies in the opera! She is incredibly dramatic. She is so bright and clear!

The music, the text are the same, but the action has been moved to our time, although it still takes place in Spain. According to the modern solution, the heroes of the opera are dressed and shod like our contemporaries. They use laptops, cars, motorcycles, photo and video cameras.

Our main characters were transported to the present, there was a motorcycle on the stage, new technologies, spectacular scenery and stage special effects were applied - Laylim Imangazina (director of the Abai KGATOB)
