La Carmen in brief

The historic production of Carmen which, in 1995, was the occasion of the Arena debut of Franco Zeffirelli, is returning “Près des remparts de Séville” and to the heart of Verona. Georges Bizet’s masterpiece will officially inaugurate the 99th Opera Festival on 17th June 2022 and will be performed on a total of 9 evenings until the end of August. In the setting of a breathtaking Seville, be enchanted by the timeless fascination of Carmen, the rebellious gypsy who warns her suitors with these words: “Si tu ne m’aimes pas, je t’aime/Si je t’aime, prends garde à toi!” (If you don’t love me, I love you/If I love you, you’d better watch out!)
