About
Carmen is an opera by Georges Bizet about a free-spirited woman in a remote Spanish town and the police officer who falls for her. Don José gives up his respectable career to be with Carmen. His mother and Micaëla, who loves him, do not want him to go. Carmen then becomes interested in the toreador Escamillo, and Don José's jealousy grows.
The libretto is by Henri Meilhac and Ludovic Halévy. Damiano Michieletto, an Olivier Award-winning director, staged this production, which plays at the Royal Opera House. Songs include the 'Habanera' and the 'Toreador Song'. The opera is in French, with English surtitles.
