SUMMARY:If Opera - Carmen
DESCRIPTION:Carmen Georges Bizet \nLibrettists Henri Meilhac\, Ludovic Halévy \nConductor Oliver Gooch\nDirector James Hurley\nDesigner Laura Stanfield\nLighting Designer Joe Price \nWith the Bristol Ensemble\nSung in French with English surtitles \nChurch Farm\, Wingfield \nBizet’s Carmen takes centre stage in this bold\, immersive production. Reimagined for the turn of the twentieth century and infused with the playful spirit of French opéra-comique\, this production reveals original\, rarely heard music alongside the opera’s most thrilling and instantly recognisable arias\, from the seductive Habanera to the electrifying Seguidilla and the blazing Toreador chorus. \nFrom its scandalous 1875 premiere to its enduring status as one of the world’s most loved operas\, Carmen burns with passion\, jealousy and Spanish fire\, offering a vivid portrait of Bizet’s fiercely independent anti-heroine. We are delighted to welcome back Alyona Abramova in this title role\, following her acclaimed performance as Maddalena in Rigoletto (2025)\, bringing depth\, magnetism and vocal brilliance to this unforgettable character.
