Bizet: Carmen
Richard Eyreâs stunning new production of Bizetâs opera was the talk of the town when it was unveiled on New Yearâs Eve 2009. ElÄ«na GaranÄa leads the cast as the iconic gypsy of the titleâa woman desired by every man but determined to remain true to herself. Roberto Alagna is Don JosĂ©, the soldier who falls under her spell and sacrifices everything for her love, only to be cast aside when the toreador Escamillo (Teddy Tahu Rhodes) piques Carmenâs interest. With dances created by star choreographer Christopher Wheeldon and conducted by rising maestro Yannick NĂ©zet-SĂ©guin, this Carmen brings every aspect of Bizetâs tale to thrilling life, from its lighthearted beginning to its inevitably tragic climax.
