🎬 Title: Carmen
Story: Set against the backdrop of Seville’s bustling cigar industry, Carmen stands out as the most captivating woman in town. After being arrested for assaulting a friend, she captivates the officer Don José, who ultimately allows her to escape. In his fervor for Carmen, José abandons his childhood love, renounces his military career, and chooses a tumultuous path that leads him to desperation when he loses Carmen’s affections to the charismatic bullfighter, Escamillo. Audiences at the Opéra Comique in Paris were reportedly taken aback by the portrayal of such a fiercely independent character when the production first debuted in 1875. Thanks to Palazzetto Bru Zane (Centre de Musique Romantique Française), the Opéra de Rouen Normandie has meticulously recreated Bizet’s original Carmen, complete with authentic costumes, sets, and stage design from its inaugural performance.
