Cast includes Patricia Bardon as Carmen, Gwyn Hughes Jones as Don José, David Soar as Escamillo, Sarah-Jane Davies as Micaela, Henry Waddington as Zuniga, Joanne Boag as Frasquita and Carolyn Dobbin as Mercedes.

Don José's life was quiet, respectable and law abiding. From the moment he met Carmen his life has unravelled. He is intoxicated by her, blinded by jealousy, pursuing her across Spain and on the run. His jealousy will destroy him and if the cards are telling the truth, it will destroy Carmen too.

Bizet's most famous creation is full to the brim with instantly recognizable music and paints a mesmerizing picture of Spain teeming with fascinating characters. Carmen herself is one of the most charasmatic and hard to resist characters in opera. For a century and a half audiences the world over have fallen in love with her. Patricia Bardon returns to this production as carmen with Welsh tenor Gwyn Hughes Jones reprising the role of Don José.

Patrice Caurier and Moshe Leiser's production distils Bizet's masterpiece right down to its essence.
