About

Carmen returns to the Arena in Franco Zeffirelli's ‘colossal’ staging, with a bustling, colourful and truer-than-life Seville. Carmen is a masterpiece that has changed the history of music, opera and, over time, society itself. Through its music, realism and the legendary protagonist, willing to die to defend her freedom.
