Carmen by Bizet, De la (2016/2016), Regizat de către Jana Andělová Pletichová, Dirijor Petr Šumník, Slezské divadlo, Opava, Czech Republic

An opera with the story of Prosper Mérimé about a spirited, passionate and volatile gypsy woman working in a Spanish tobacco factory, and about José, a soldier who, because of desire and passion, not only deserts the war, but also forgets the loving girl Micaela and his mother and finally kills out of jealousy the main heroine. The premiere of Carmen (March 3, 1875 on the stage of the Opéra Comique in Paris) was not well received by either the audience or the critics. The audience did not accept the contradictory heroine from the factory environment or the new harmony and dramaturgical structure of the work. But it didn't take long for Carmen to settle on many of the world's operatic stages and has successfully settled on them to this day. G. Bizet dies three months after the release of Carmen at the age of less than 37. The deterioration of his health was due to the bad criticism of the opera Carmen.
