The Royal Opera: Carmen

In the scorching heat of the Spanish sun, the extremely independent Carmen knows how to attract the attention of Don José. Although she warns him not to fall for her, his obsession knows no bounds. The gripping performance by Damiano Michieletto is back and sheds a bright light on the lust, the violence, and the destructive desire in Bizet's eternally popular opera. With a cast full of stars, this sizzling drama comes to life, in which Ginger Costa-Jackson plays the fiery title role, alongside Russell Thomas in the role of the jealous and desperate Don José. Following his debut at The Royal Opera in 2023, Sesto Quatrini is now back on stage to conduct Bizet's exciting and sensual music.
