Synopsis
In a sun-scorched Spanish town, the fiery factory worker Carmen (Aigul Akhmetshina) sets her sights on Don José (Piotr Beczała), a corporal determined to ignore her. Her persistence unravels him: he abandons his fiancée Micaëla (Olga Kulchynska) and his post, fleeing to the mountains with Carmen's smuggler gang. But Carmen's restless spirit soon turns toward the glamorous toreador Escamillo (Kostas Smoriginas), igniting a jealousy that spirals toward inevitable tragedy.
Damiano Michieletto's stark, modern production frames Bizet's masterpiece as a study in confinement and toxic desire, conducted by Antonio Pappano with the Royal Opera House Orchestra and Chorus.
