Carmen is recognized as one of the greatest operas of all time. Bizet’s extraordinary, passionate work incorporates fast paced dramatic action with extremes of emotions whilst unravelling the torrid tale of murder, corruption, jealousy and obsession.
“Every member of the ensemble enlivens the on-stage community. The excitement – and there’s plenty of it – comes from their collective energy.” The Independent
