She’s one of the most popular Opera heroines of all time- smuggler, seductress, risk-taker, rebel- Carmen is back, and she’s bolder than ever!
Presented by Opera Australia, Carmen at Sydney Opera House features a star-studded creative team, headed up by Director extraordinaire Anne-Louise Sarks from the acclaimed Melbourne Theatre Company, and Tony Award winning Set and Costume designer Marg Horwell.
Making her long awaited Carmen debut and leading this exceptional cast, is Australian expat Danielle De Niese. Described by the New York Times Magazine as the ‘world’s coolest soprano’, Danielle brings her own passion, energy, spin and extraordinary talent to the role of a lifetime!
150 years ago, Carmen sparked a revolution for the opera artform and has since reigned as one of the most popular operas ever written with recognisable music that has inspired countless modern adaptations and references in popular culture.
Experience one of the world’s favourite operas, Carmen, the story of opera’s famous femme fatale. From the moment the curtain rises you’re immersed into a thrilling world of love and passion, through beautifully crafted costumes and sets. The music has it all: explosions of colour, tender love songs, sensual dances, massive choruses, and always, underneath, the beating pulse of danger.
It’s Carmen for the 21st Century and you’ll be transported, transfixed and transformed by this world- class production!
