THE SEXY THRILLER THAT SEDUCES THE AUDIENCE WITH EVERY NOTE

Carmen can have any man she wants, and discards them as easily as she does the cigarettes she makes. When she seduces the proud young soldier Don José only to cast him aside for the handsome bullfighter, jealousy ignites. José is pushed to the brink. Carmen’s tragic fate has been sealed.

Who can resist the sensuous music of Carmen? With its lavish score, brilliant orchestration, and Spanish rhythms, you will be powerless to resist the hit melodies and beloved music of the most popular opera of all time.

Features some of the most recognizable music including Carmen’s smoky Habanera, Don José’s Flower Song, and the rousing Toreador Song.

Sung in French with French dialogue; projected English translations.
Music Georges Bizet  |  Libretto Henri Meilhac and Ludovic Halévy
(Based on the story of the same name by French novelist Prosper Mérimée.)
