Carmen Reimagined By The RBO

The Royal Ballet and Opera stages a thrilling production of George Bizet's magnificent opera classic Carmen as part of its new season! First premiered in Paris in 1875, the original has come to be regarded as one of the art form's greatest achievements. The ultimate tale of the femme fatale and how her ruthless behaviour leads those around her astray, Damiano Michieletto directs a stellar cast featuring the talents of Ramona Zaharia in the title role, alongside Russell Thomas and Valentyn Dytiuk as the despairing Don Jose.

Beware the Attentions of Carmen

Carmen is a provocative traveller woman whose short temper brings her to the attention of the kind and charismatic Don José, who falls head over heels in love with her. An intense tale of love found and ruthlessly taken, Carmen is one of opera's most passionate pieces, as lust and revenge go hand in hand, making for a fiery finale.
