Opera in four acts by Georges Bizet. 190 min (with one interval). Libretto by Henri Meilhac and Ludovic Halévy after the novel of the same name by Prosper Mérimée. Music Director: Tugan Sokhiev. Stage Director: Alexei Borodin. Sung in French. No man can resist Carmen’s gypsy charms, but when she’s ready to move on, watch out! A riveting drama of love and jealousy, filled with famously alluring melodies and captivating dances, Carmen is one of the world’s most popular operas. With dazzling bursts of color, a thrilling production brings the sights and sounds of Seville to life, from the dusty town center to the clamor of the bullring. Bizet’s immortal score overflows with one delight after another, a music lover’s hit parade of opera’s most intoxicating melodies. Bolshoi Theater |
