English National Opera: Carmen

The English National Opera's 2015 season filmed live at the London Coliseum, and beamed into cinemas worldwide. This is Bizet's Carmen.

"A passionate tale of lust, seduction and betrayal, no other opera boasts as popular a following. Set during the dying days of Franco's Spain, Calixto Bieito's acclaimed production of this must-see opera has been enjoyed by audiences across Europe. Bizet's dazzling score evokes all the sounds and sizzling atmosphere of Spain through some of the opera's most famous melodies, from Carmen's seductive 'Habanera'’ to the Toreadors’ stirring parade. Sensational mezzo-soprano Justina Gringyte leads the cast, alongside the internationally acclaimed tenor Eric Cutler as José." (ENO)
