Carmen: Teatro Real

About the Event

Discover a new Carmen at the Madrid's Teatro Real with the unconventional staging of Calixto Bieito.

A story of violence and marginalization, of menacing boundaries and conflicting ethnicities: this describes the production of Carmen set during the 70s as a militarized world in continuous transformation. By removing stereotypical clichés, Calixto Bieito gives importance to the passions that move across a minimalist stage, representing a sordid, atavistic and male‐centered Spain.
