San Diego Opera: The Tragedy of Carmen

Closed March 12, 2017

Peter Brook's gripping adaptation of Georges Bizet's opera Carmen

Why See San Diego Opera: The Tragedy of Carmen?

Classical & Opera

The stunning new adaptation by Peter Brooks

An electrifying new take on Georges Bizet's iconic opera, Peter Brooks' new interpretation of Carmen has caused a massive stir in operatic circles and die-hard afficionados. Pared down to a more manageable 85 minutes running time, with a combination of performers from both opera and musical theater, this stunning new work is a must-see for anybody wanting to experience the joy of Carmen without the bottom-numbing running time of the original.

The seductive gypsy bandit is the woman of every red-blooded man's dreams, but if you dare to play her, she will not only burn you, but destroy everyone around you as well. When the naive young soldier Don Jose leaves his childhood sweetheart Micaela after becoming besotted with Carmen and her band, he lives in ecstasy for a brief time.
Unfortunately, Carmen is a fickle woman, and she callously leaves him for Escamillo the vain bullfighter; Don Jose experiences the red mist of rage and jealousy, and his actions have deadly consequences for all involved.
