A mercurial mix of fairy-tale adventure, knockabout farce, moral allegory and, above all, marvellous music (including the thrilling Queen of the Night Aria), Mozart's The Magic Flute was premiered just ten weeks before the composer's tragically early death. It proved to be the biggest popular success of his short life, as well as arguably the most deeply moving of all his operas.

Carmen

Royal Opera House

2.5/5 - based on 2 reviews - (Read reviews) 2.5 2 reviews Tickets from £205.00

Carmen is the best-known work by French composer Georges Bizet, and one of the most famous operas in the entire art form – numbers such as the Habanera and the Toreador Song have permeated the popular consciousness as little else has. The opera’s heady combination of passion, sensuality and violence initially proved too much for the stage, and it was a critical failure on its 1875 premiere. Bizet died shortly after, and never learned of the spectacular success his Carmen would achieve: the opera has been performed more than five hundred times at Covent Garden alone.
