George Bizet's magnificent Carmen is an opera classic, and the English National Opera stages a thrilling production of the classic freshly reimagined, taking place in the final days of Franco's reign in 1970s Spain! First premiered in Paris in 1875, the original has come to be regarded as one of the artform's greatest achievements. The ultimate tale of the femme fatale and how her ruthless behaviour leads those around her astray, Olivier nominee Jamie Manton directs a stellar cast featuring the talents of Niamh O'Sullivan as Carmen and John Findon as Don Jose.
