The Royal Opera House: Carmen
Sunday 05 May 2024
Aigul Akmetshina and Vasilisa Berzhanskaya share the title role in Damiano Michieletto’s sizzling new production of Bizet’s ever-popular opera.
Carmen declares that any man she loves should beware.
However, even she is unprepared for what will happen when she decides to seduce Don José, an army corporal who initially appears uninterested in her charms.
Don José soon abandons his sweetheart Micaëla and his army job for Carmen, and joins her and her smuggler friends in the mountains.
But Carmen quickly wearies of Don José’s possessiveness. When she turns her attentions to the dashing toreador Escamillo, Don José’s jealousy erupts into violence.
Damiano Michieletto’s sizzling new production evokes all the passion and heat of Bizet’s score, which features Carmen’s sultry Habanera and the rousing Toreador song.
Antonello Manacorda conducts an exciting international cast, with Aigul Akhmetshina performing the title role.
