Bizet's Carmen is one of the most popular operas in the standard repertoire and includes well-known arias, the Toréador Song and the Habanera.
Carmen, a beautiful gypsy with a fiery temper, first invites, then disdainfully repudiates her lovers, and in the end suffers a tragic fate.
The first of Carmen's lovers is Don José, a corporal in the army, who is betrothed to an innocent country girl, Micaëla. He rejects Micaëla, goes absent without leave and turns to a criminal life joining a band of smugglers and gypsies.
Carmen's affection, always doubtful, has begun to wane. Another suitor Escamillo, a toreador, arrives and there is immediate trouble between the two rivals which leads to the jealous murder of Carmen.
This special performance will feature cast singing arias from Bizet's Carmen using Rory's translation to raise money for charity. The evening will be introduced by Rory Bremner.
