A PROPOS DU SPECTACLE

The Oper Leipzig presents one of the most favourite operas "Carmen" - Bizet's masterpiece about love, passion, jealousy and death!

The opera is set in Spanish Seville, where the beautiful but also fiery gypsy Carmen falls in love with Don José and woos about the young soldier. Their relationship leads to his rejection of his fiancée, mutiny against his superior, turn to a criminal life, and ultimately, out of jealousy, murder of Carmen. Although he is briefly happy with Carmen, he falls into madness when she turns from him to the bullfighter Escamillo.

"Carmen" is a French opera by Georges Bizet based on the story by Porsper Merimée, and the libretto was written by Meilhac and Halévy. The Oper Leipzig presents Bizet's opera in the original language with German surtitles in a stage production full of passion - playful and yet a serious story about love!
