BIZET
CARMEN
THE MOST SEDUCTIVE OPERA EVER WRITTEN

Directed by Ellen Kent, this traditionally staged, dazzling new production set in Seville and reflecting a Goya painting, with fountains, flowers and orange trees, guarantees an evening of passion and romance.
Starring international mezzo soprano Nadia Stoianova, whose portrayal of Carmen has won rapturous reviews, and featuring the full Chisinau National Philharmonic orchestra and chorus, and a donkey.
Carmen features some of the most evocative and best-loved melodies in opera, including perhaps the best-known baritone aria of all; The Toreadors Song.
