Beware the attentions of the original femme fatale!
Don't miss Bizet's timeless, sultry masterpiece, masterfully reimagined by John Fulljames to take place during the 1970s turmoil in Spain. First premiered in Paris in 1875, the original has come to be regarded as one of the artform's greatest achievements. The ultimate tale of the femme fatale and how her ruthless behaviour leads those around her astray, including the quiet, sensible Don Jose, who finds himself drawn to the seductive but fatally dangerous beauty...
Carmen is a provocative Gypsy woman, whose short temper brings her to the attention of the kind and charismatic Don Jose, who falls head over heels in love with her. An intense tale of love found and ruthlessly taken, Carmen is one of Opera's most intense and passionate pieces, as lust and revenge go hand in hand making for a fiery finale.
