Carmen Bizet Opera

Carmen

1. The Threepenny Carmen is not simply a stripped down version of the original opera, it digs into what Bizet's 1875 classic might mean for audiences today. Capturing its essence as an exploration of sexual freedom, social hierarchies and the class system.

3. The complete opera 'Carmen', with Placido Domingo as Don Jose, Tatiana Troyanos as Carmen, Jose Van Dam, as Escamillo, Kiri Te Kanawa as Micaela, Norma Burrowes as Frasquita, Jane Berbie, as Mercedes, Michel Roux as Dancaire, Michel Senechal as Remendado, and Pierre Thau as Zuniga.

Carmen Opera Lyrics

Combining Spanish passion with French lyricism, the timeless classic unveils a story of passion, destiny but above all freedom — liberty! — and one unforgettable woman who lives and loves by it, a man consumed by her, and the woman who tries to save him. The unforgettable music stays in the mind and rhythms pound in the heart for days afterwards.
