Bizet's Carmen is one of the most popular operas, which countless times on the shelves. For Opera Zuid a challenge to with an original production for the day to come. To make that possible is the highly acclaimed theaterduo William Wallace and Geert Lageveen enabled – it is their first opera-staging. White and L have success as actors and theatre makers at Orkater. They excel In their performances with ' unpredictable and powerful scene (De Telegraaf). ' ' The smallest details of his matchless worked out (AD). ' The design of their productions is provided and stunning ' (Trouw). '

The opera tells a classic story of love and jealousy. The Gypsy Carmen works in a cigarette factory. She unleashes a quarrel that pretty out of control. When soldiers intervene, know Carmen the corporal Don Jose. He falls in love with her and leaves his girlfriend Micaëla. Carmen looked forward and swap it in for him is running out the Bullfighter Escamillio. She plays high game with love. The consequences are fatal.

Lachance and situate the opera White in the sixties. Gypsies are hippies, cigarette girls smoking joints and there are riots with the police. Make love not war! Freedom happiness. Flower power. Everyone longs for ultimate complete inhibition.

The musical director has Ivan Meylemans. This conductor is the former Assistant of Mariss Jansons. He spent some years back ' the Residentie Orchestra to high altitudes in Rimsky-Korsakov's Sheherazade ... He dismissively revealed to the Orchestra a sparkling Arabian Nights tale (de Volkskrant). '
