About the event
Immediately after its publication in 1845, Carmen , the novella by Prosper Mérimée, was labelled shocking and scandalous. Thirty years later, Georges Bizet premieres 'his' Carmen in Paris; since then, it has become one of the most frequently staged operas worldwide. The story of the gypsy who does not hesitate to die in the name of freedom and love remains one of the most impressive and enduring contemporary myths about the mysterious nature of Woman. Over the years, Carmen , revisited by countless directors, has gained new facets and interpretations. However, the essential element remains: Carmen, the fatal anti-heroine, remains the unyielding centre of all versions. Pre-concert talk by Bárbara Villalobos, 30 min. before each performance. In French with Portuguese subtitles
