Georges Bizet - Carmen

A legendary work of world opera dominated by the untamed young woman Carmen. French composer Georges Bizet created the immortal essence of Spanish musical color, which sets the scene for a riveting musical drama. In it, Carmen moves the plot in such a way as to satisfy her desire for love and freedom. This evocative story, always accompanied by immortal music, has been reigning on opera stages since 1875 in various adaptations. The State Opera is returning to it for the seventh time in its history.
