Carmen

With Arena per Tutti, the Arena di Verona Opera Festival is becoming more inclusive than ever, thanks to its partnership with Müller

Carmen for Everyone

In Seville, the free-spirited Carmen captures the heart of soldier Don José, who helps her escape and eventually becomes an outlaw. But her independence clashes with his growing jealousy. When the charismatic toreador Escamillo enters the picture, tragedy is inevitable.

 

A spectacular, large-scale production with timeless appeal—this iconic Arena di Verona staging is directed by Franco Zeffirelli.
