If desire is the spark of love, then Carmen has ignited a thousand infernos. Opera's quintessential femme fatale, Carmen shows us she's that and so much more--a fearless, flirtatious force of nature who refuses to answer to anyone but herself. Her confidence attracts the attention of Don Jose, whose passion turns to obsession, then spirals into madness. When Jose threatens Carmen with death should she refuse him, she chooses freedom over all. Featuring some of opera's best-known melodies, from the sultry "Habanera" to the rousing "Toreador Song," Carmen is an ageless ode to one woman's fierce independence.
