La Tragédie de Carmen | In conversation with the cast | Norwich Theatre

Подробнее о видео

A brutal, gritty tale of self-destruction fuelled by lust, set to some of the most famous music in opera. When Don Jose falls for the fiery and ambitious Carmen their tragic fates are sealed. His childhood sweetheart is eschewed, and they begin a visceral journey that descends to madness and murder.

Peter Brook’s adaptation of Bizet’s Carmen doesn’t hold back, stripping the opera to its core essentials whilst focussing on themes of obsession and jealousy.

If you’re familiar with the story, then this production offers a different perspective that focusses on the intense relationships between the main characters. If you’re new to opera – expect plenty of music that you didn’t know you knew!

A Buxton International Festival and Norwich Theatre Production, with the Northern Chamber Orchestra.

Sung in French with English surtitles.
