Comment
Opera in four acts | Text by Henri Meilhac and Ludovic Halévy after the novella of the same name by Prosper Mérimée | In French with German supertitles | Playing time ca. 3 hours | One intermission
Carmen is a freedom-loving woman who casts a spell on any man that crosses her path. Don José is a buttoned-down sergeant who falls for her charms. But when she turns her attention to another, José’s love turns into obsession. With Carmen, Bizet created a true operatic classic replete with passion and sweeping melodies.
