CARMEN Now playing @ Cinema Nouveau
One of the most popular operas of all time, Carmen "is about sex, violence, and racism--and its corollary: freedom," says Olivier Award-winning director Richard Eyre about his new production of Bizet's drama. "It is one of the inalienably great works of art. It's sexy, in every sense. And I think it should be shocking." Elīna Garanča sings the seductive gypsy of the title for the first time at the Met, opposite Roberto Alagna as the obsessed Don José. Barbara Frittoli is Micaëla, and Mariusz Kwiecien is the matador Escamillo. "Carmen is about sex, violence, and racism--and its corollary: freedom," says Olivier Award-winning director Richard Eyre. "It is one of the inalienably great works of art. It's sexy, in every sense. And I think it should be shocking." Conductor: Yannick Nézet-Séguin; Production: Richard Eyre; Barbara Frittoli, Elīna Garanča, Roberto Alagna, Mariusz Kwiecien Book at Ster-Kinekor self-service terminals or box-office.
