In the scorching Spanish heat, the headstrong Carmen catches the eye of Don José - despite her own warning not to fall for her. His obsession knows no bounds, with all the consequences that follow. Damiano Michieletto's production explores desire, violence and destructive passion in Bizet's opera.

Ginger Costa-Jackson performs the fiery title role, with Russell Thomas alongside her as the jealous and desperate Don José.
