Carmen by Bizet, pá 21 srp 2015, Od (2015/2015), Režie Rocc, Dirigent Anne Randine Øverby, Bergenhus Festning, Bergen, Norway

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!
