Opera Australia
CARMEN
Thursday 10 June, 7:30pm
Sung in French with English surtitles.
Performed with a live chamber orchestra. Directed by Matthew Barclay
Carmen
is the femme fatale you can’t forget. In Bizet’s famous opera, she sings
her sensual Habanera and lures Don José into her world. He gives up
everything to follow her. But Carmen’s wandering eye has already found a
new lover: the dashing bullfighter Escamillo.
Don José’s jealousy
is fierce. Escamillo’s passion is strong. In a gripping finale, Carmen
must face her fate.
Experience the thrilling Spanish colour and
rhythms of Bizet’s vibrant score with Opera Australia’s singers, live
chamber orchestra and a children’s chorus drawn from the local community.
This
new production includes gorgeous sets and vintage-inspired costumes. You
can hear classics such as the Habanera and the Toreador Song just as Bizet
meant them — loud, live and completely unamplified.
2 hours and
35 minutes including interval.
