About Welsh National Opera – Carmen at New Theatre, Oxford

Jo Davies’ new production, set in the recent past, will bring all the passion and drama expected of this iconic opera.

Why go and see it?

No man can resist the charms of opera’s ultimate seductress, Carmen.

Carefree and spirited, Carmen is determined to keep her independence, so when she enchants the soldier, Don José who sacrifices his old life for her, she is unprepared for the events that will evolve. Bored, she turns her attention to the handsome Escamillo, and Don José’s jealousy erupts into a thrilling finale.

Bizet’s alluring music, from the famous Toreador Song to Carmen’s provocative Habanera, exposes the emotion of the characters to create a tension that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Sung in French, with English surtitles, the performance will last approximately 3 hours with one interval.
