Description

Step into the world of Bizet’s timeless masterpiece, Carmen, at the renowned London Coliseum. This revival of Calixto Bieito’s production brings fiery drama and unforgettable melodies to life. Set against the backdrop of Spain during the final days of General Franco’s oppressive regime, this opera explores themes of seduction and possession. Follow the ill-fated story of Don José, a weak-willed soldier whose infatuation with the flirtatious and free-spirited Carmen leads him down a dangerous path. As Carmen’s passion fades and her attention shifts to the charismatic bullfighter Escamillo, Don José’s obsession spirals into tragedy. With its dramatic twists and turns, this opera is a gripping exploration of human emotion. Accompanied by the Orchestra of ENO, Bizet’s seductive score pulsates with evocative rhythms and unforgettable melodies. From Carmen’s sultry Habanera to Escamillo’s swaggering Toreador Song, the music will transport you to the sun-soaked streets of Spain. Whether you’re an opera enthusiast or a first-time visitor, Bizet’s Irresistible Carmen is an experience not to be missed.
