Carmen, broadcast screening from the Royal Opera
Under the oppressive heat of the Spanish sun, the free-spirited Carmen declares that any man she loves should beware. But even she is unprepared for what happens when she decides to seduce police officer Don José.
Olivier Award-winning director Damiano Michieletto’s staging casts scorching light on the lust, violence and destructive desire of Bizet’s ever-popular opera. An all-star cast brings this white-hot production to life with Ginger Costa-Jackson in the fiery title role, alongside Russell Thomas as the jealous and despairing Don José. Bizet’s electrifying and sensual score boasts a host of Spanish-inspired melodies and his gift for writing memorable melodies reaches its peak in the flamboyance of the ‘Toreador Song’, one of the most instantly recognisable arias in all classical music.
