CARMEN (EN DIRECTO DESDE THE ROYAL OPERA HOUSE)

Under the oppressive heat of the Spanish sun, the incredibly independent Carmen catches Don José’s eye. She warns him not to fall in love with her, but his obsession knows no bounds. Damiano Michieletto’s striking production returns to the stage and casts an unflinching light on lust, violence and destructive desire in Bizet’s much-acclaimed opera.

A stellar cast brings this high-voltage drama to life, with Ginger Costa-Jackson in the passionate role of the heroine and Russell Thomas as the jealous and desperate Don José. After his debut at the Royal Opera in 2023, Sesto Quatrini returns to conduct Bizet’s electrifying and sensual score.
