Carmen

Georges Bizet's opera set in nineteenth-century Seville, following the stories of Carmen, Don José and Escamillo, in a grand staged production at the Teatro Apolo in Barcelona.

This opera by Georges Bizet is set in nineteenth-century Seville. Carmen, a woman who lives by her own rules, attracts Don José, a young soldier willing to change his life for her. The relationship becomes complicated with the arrival of Escamillo, a bullfighter, and the romance turns into jealousy and obsession, leading to an ending that the plot presents as inevitable.

The score combines French Romanticism with melodies inspired by Spanish folklore. The production is presented as a grand staged performance, with a symphony orchestra, solo singers, a chorus and a dance company, as well as costumes and lighting specific to the staging.

The show is performed live at the Teatro Apolo in Barcelona, a theatre that hosts concerts and shows in the city.
