With a lush score and instantly recognisable arias, Carmen follows a fiercely independent woman whose passionate life ignites obsession and jealousy, leading to tragic consequences. First performed in Paris in 1875, Carmen shocked audiences with its raw portrayal of passion, lawlessness and moral defiance.
Carmen will be set in a contemporary world. It contains scenes of sexual and violent nature and is unsuitable for younger audiences.
