‘Love is a rebellious bird that none can tame’ says Carmen, the heroine of the most scandalous opera about an irrepressible young Spanish woman that went on to become one of the best known and best-loved pieces of music of all time. It has everything - high drama, passionate characters, a love story. And what’s more, it’s absolutely packed with great melodies. Georges Bizet wrote many great works, but the melodies contained in Carmen remain the most entrancing to this day. An innovative production by Andrzej Chyra, additionally inspired by the cinema of Mexican arthouse guru: Carlos Reygadas.
