Irish National Opera presents: Carmen
Opera’s great, independent, sexual woman, the gypsy Carmen.
Her friends and enemies from a cigarette factory. Her lovers, high and low. A naive corporal and the good girl from home. A handsome bullfighter. Smugglers. Jealousy, and a fatal struggle. Carmen, the most popular French opera, with some of the most alluring arias ever, has it all. Bizet’s Carmen sings out with irresistible, unforgettable musical panache.
Carmen In Focus, a free online introduction to the opera, will be presented on 28 February 2022. Booking details can be found here.
Sung in French with English surtitles
Approximate duration: 3 hrs 30 mins including 2 intervals
