Carmen

This is a screening of the opera Carmen, presented as part of the Royal Ballet & Opera 2026/27 season. Under the oppressive heat of the Spanish sun, the fiercely independent Carmen attracts the attention of Don José, who she warns not to fall in love with her, but his obsession knows no bounds. Damiano Michieletto's searing production returns, casting scorching light on the lust, violence and destructive desire of Bizet's ever-popular opera, with Ginger Costa-Jackson in the fiery title role alongside Russell Thomas as Don José, and Sesto Quatrini returning to conduct.
