Bizet's Carmen offers opera literature's most fascinating collection of catchy melodies while at the same time a rarely impressive balance between music and drama. The story of Carmen who puts her own freedom above everything else is a story that is dangerously close, but at the same time timelessly distanced from the daily lives of trivialities.

This is how Carmen is radical. This is how Carmen seduces. This is how she pushes boundaries.
When she dies in the last scene, the seemingly orderly forms of life can be restored, but the fiery and dramatic revolt remains a bittersweet reminder of unrequited passions and limited freedom.
Carmen therefore always comes back - and enters the spotlight again.
In August, Opera Bergen gives her new leeway, in new surroundings and in new production.
Welcome to fiery drama within the fortress walls!
This year's summer opera will be the 24th in a series of outdoor productions under the auspices of Opera Bergen. WE can not promise glorious weather, but we promise acoustic sound, magical late summer atmosphere and a Carmen show you have never seen before!

English

Bizets Carmen byr på operalitteraturens mest fascinerende samling av iørefallende melodier samtidig med en sjeldent imponerende balanse mellom musikk og drama. Fortellingen om Carmen som setter sin egen frihet over alt annet er en historie som er farlig nær, men samtidig tidløst distansert fra trivialitetenes dagligliv.

Slik er Carmen radikal. Slik forfører Carmen. Slik sprenger hun grenser.
Når hun dør i siste scene kan tilværelsens tilsynelatende ordnede former gjenopprettes, men det ildfulle og dramatiske opprøret forblir som en bittersøt påminnelse om ulevde lidenskaper og begrenset frihet.
Carmen kommer derfor alltid igjen – og trer inn i rampelyset på nytt.
I august gir Opera Bergen henne på nytt spillerom, i nye omgivelser og i ny produksjon.
Velkommen til ildfullt drama innenfor festningsmurene!
Årets sommeropera blir den 24. i rekken av utendørs oppsetninger i Opera Bergens regi. VI kan ikke love strålende vær, men vi lover akustisk vellyd, magisk sensommerstemning og en Carmenforestilling du aldri før har sett!
