IMDB Voting 7.0
Overview
Richard Eyre鈥檚 stunning new production of Bizet鈥檚 opera was the talk of the town when it was unveiled on New Year鈥檚 Eve 2009. El墨na Garan膷a leads the cast as the iconic gypsy of the title鈥攁 woman desired by every man but determined to remain true to herself. Roberto Alagna is Don Jos茅, 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 Carmen鈥檚 interest. With dances created by star choreographer Christopher Wheeldon and conducted by rising maestro Yannick N茅zet-S茅guin, this Carmen brings every aspect of Bizet鈥檚 tale to thrilling life, from its lighthearted beginning to its inevitably tragic climax.
