Carmen

Running time 3 hours 31/ one intermission. Conductor: Yannick Nézet-Séguin; Production: Richard Eyre; Barbara Frittoli, Elina Garanca, Roberto Alagna, Mariusz Kwiecien
One of the most popular operas of all time, Carmen “is about sex, violence, and racism—and its corollary: freedom,” says Olivier Award-winning director Richard Eyre about his new production of Bizet’s drama. “It is one of the inalienably great works of art. It’s sexy, in every sense. And I think it should be shocking.” Elina Garanca plays the seductive gypsy of the title in her role debut, opposite Roberto Alagna as the obsessed Don José.
Please note the title role is now being sung by Elina Garanca, not Angela Gheorgiu as originally advertised.
We're currently closed for refurbishment. We'll see you when we reopen in September!
