Carmen

Caught between her desirre for love and a longing for freedom, Carmen faces an impossible choice.  She’s enigmatic and elusive: a femme fatale you can’t forget.  Captivating Don José with her sensual Habanera, he abandons everything to pursue her.  But Carmen won’t be owned and finds herself a new lover: the dashing bullfighter Escamillo. Don José’s jealousy is untameable and in a gripping finale, Carmen is destined to fight for her life.

A cast of some of Australia’s finest opera singers assemble with a chamber orchestra and local children’s chorus to perform the world’s most popular opera. Hear the famous Habanera and the Toreador Song when you join us for Opera Australia’s 25^th Anniversary tour of Bizet’s Carmen.
