Carmen- Royal Ballet and Opera in London
In a remote Spanish town, the free-spirited and independent Carmen declares that any man she loves should beware. She seduces the respectable police officer Don José, who goes against the wishes of his mother and the woman who loves him to abandon everything in favour of a life of danger with Carmen. But she soon grows bored of his possessiveness and turns her attention to the toreador Escamilo, causing Don José’s jealousy to erupt in a flurry of violence that will have catastrophic consequences.
Damiano Michieletto brings Bizet’s electrifying, sensual opera about jealousy, obsession and desire to life, conducted by Sesto Quatrini. Ginger Costa-Jackson and Ramona Zaharia share the titular role of one of opera’s most fierce and memorable heroines, while Russell Thomas and Valentyn Dytiuk play the jealous and despairing Don José. Inspired by the popular novella of the same name by French writer Prosper Mérimée, Carmen has remained immensely popular over the years for its heady combination of passion, sensuality and violence. It is the second most performed opera in The Royal Opera’s repertory, having been performed over 600 times.
Don’t miss your chance to experience one of the most famous operas of all time.

We left at half timeTedious and uninspiring such a travesty for what is a brilliant opera by Bizet. Never did figure why the lead had to be dressed as a gorilla - really! It was as unSpanish as it possibly could be, no vibrant, flamboyant consumes, just funereal dark and eternally somber. So pleased when the interval came so we could relieved of the monotony and boredom
