Carmen in London

Carmen: a woman ablaze with passion, surrounded by men possessed by obsession and jealousy. One of opera’s most well-known characters sets herself on a road to tragedy when she meets Don José, a corporal in the army searching for love.

ENO favourite and twice Olivier Award-nominated Jamie Manton returns to direct Calixto Bieito’s beloved opera exploring the complex relationships between the sexes, now set at the tail-end of Franco’s regime in the 1970s. Bizet’s searing score features popular opera songs like the swaggering 'March of the Toreadors' and the sultry 'Habanera', which will transport you into the scorching heat of the Iberian peninsula. Don't miss this epic story of love, obsession, and seduction in one of the most celebrated operas of all time.

The English Carmen!

The Opera was in English! Whoever heard of Bizet's Carmen in English! Plus it was nowhere mentioned while booking! Nor was it written in the tickets! Appalling.

Excellent singing but inquire graphic acting

Brilliant singing and acting but I found that the violence , the acting too erotic at times and the rape at the end unnecessary . That spoiled the show for me . Definitely for adults only

Great performance

I loved the music and the cast were really good. Disappointed slightly because I prefer the traditional version.
