Carmen

Under the oppressive heat of the Spanish sun, the incredibly independent Carmen catches the eye of Don José. She warns him not to fall in love with her, but his obsession knows no bounds. Damiano Michieletto’s striking production returns to the stage and sheds an unrelenting light on the lust, violence, and destructive desire of Bizet’s highly acclaimed opera. A stellar cast brings this high-voltage drama to life, with Ginger Costa-Jackson in the passionate role of the protagonist and Russell Thomas as the jealous and desperate Don José. Following his debut at the Royal Opera in 2023, Sesto Quatrini returns to conduct Bizet’s electrifying and sensual score.
