Carmen is desirable, defiant, and driven. She thinks nothing of charming a soldier to escape a spot of trouble—never imagining that he would abandon his childhood sweetheart and desert his post to follow her. But Don José is a jealous lover, and as Carmen begins a new relationship with the bullfighter Escamillo, his passion turns dark—and deadly.
Bizet's masterpiece arrives onstage in a brand-new production drenched in Spanish Gothic splendor. Domingo Hindoyan opens his inaugural season as Music Director with one of the world's most iconic scores.
