The passion, heat and danger of Carmen will be brought to dazzling heights in John Bell’s new production, tackling the gritty tale of power, corruption and destruction head-on.
Set against crumbling, monumental colonial architecture, this vibrantly colourful show will bring obsessions and love to the stage through Spanish dance and contemporary breakdancing.
Conducted by Andrea Mollino and then Brian Castles-Onion, Bizet buffs and first-time opera goers alike can sit back and take in Carmen’s extraordinary score.
This entirely new production of Carmen will be seen for the first time in Sydney, bringing with it some of opera’s biggest names – French singer Clémentine Margaine and Australian favourite Milijana Nikolic (Carmen), and thrilling Korean tenor Yonghoon Lee and the power of tenor Brandon Jovanovich (Don José).
One hundred and forty-one years after its premiere, Carmen remains one of the world’s favourite operas, continuing to inspire contemporary music, fashion and film.
Carmen is at the Sydney Opera House from June 16. Enquiries/tickets:opera.org.au.
The Australian Jewish News and Opera Australia have two double passes to give away to the show at 7.30pm, Wednesday, July 13.Read more at:yellow formal dresses
