This production by the Òpera Popular de Barcelona presents Georges Bizet's opera as the story of a homicide, centred on the violent death of a woman. The staging, signed by Pablo Morales, takes that crime as its starting point and places it within a popular imaginary of the city, with references to its port life and its dance halls.

The musical side is in the hands of Josep Miquel Mindán as musical director, with the Orquestra de cambra Terrassa 48 and Kevin Donaire as concertino. The company's chorus and ballet take part in the performance alongside students from the Conservatori Professional de Dansa of the Institut del Teatre. The choreography, inspired by flamenco, is by Eli Ayala and Nacho Blanco.

The cast of the resident company includes Nataliia Matvieieva as Carmen, José Concepción as Don José, Frederico de Oliveira as Escamillo and Núria Vilà as Micaela. The supporting voices are performed by Danil Sayfullin, Alba Martínez, Maria Batlle, Jordi Casanova, Jordi Ferrer and Néstor Pindado.
