In collaboration with Trafalgar Releasing, we are giving away two pairs of tickets to watch Carmen from the world famous Metropolitan Opera in New York – broadcast LIVE to cinemas on 2nd February.
The Met: Live in HD, is the Metropolitan Opera’s award-winning series of high-definition live cinema simulcasts. Left in the 2018/19 season are productions of Carmen, La Fille du Regiment, Die Walkure and Dialogues des Carmelites.
Love is a wild bird… Don’t miss this revival of Sir Richard Eyre’s dynamic production. Mezzo-soprano Clémentine Margaine plays opera’s ultimate seductress, while Roberto Alagna returns to the role of Don José, the good-hearted soldier with whom she unleashes an uncontrollable passion. Don José breaks the law, goes to prison, deserts the army and loses everything to be with Carmen. But the capricious Carmen gypsy soon tires of him and takes up instead with the bullfighter Escamillo—bass (Alexander Vinogradov). She has ruined his life, but still, Don José adores her, with a fierceness that can only lead to catastrophe. Composer Bizet died just three months after Carmen’s disastrous premiere, never knowing that his creation would become one of the most popular operas of all time.
