Under the oppressive heat of the Spanish sun, the fiercely independent Carmen attracts the attention of Don Jos. She warns him not to fall in love with her, but his obsession knows no bounds. Damiano Michielettos searing production returns, casting scorching light on the lust, violence and destructive desire of Bizets ever-popular opera. An all-star cast brings this white-hot drama to life, with Ginger Costa-Jackson in the fiery title role, alongside Russell Thomas as the jealous and despairing Don Jos. Following his 2023 Royal Opera debut, Sesto Quatrini returns to conduct Bizets electrifying and sensual score.
