CARMEN

Carmen scandalised the respectable opera-goers of Paris at its first performances in 1875. There on the stage were people who would never be accepted in polite society: a promiscuous gypsy factory worker, an ordinary soldier, and a tabloid-hero bullfighter. Not only had Bizet written an opera about them, he had taken them seriously as people, with real emotions, and dared to turn their seamy, steamy intrigues into high tragedy. Bizet himself died just three months after the premiere, believing his opera to have been an abject failure, but history has proved those straight-laced Parisians wrong time and time again. These days, Carmen is in the top three most-performed operas in the world – come along and find out why!
