Love, jealousy, and tragedy collide in Bizet’s classic opera as Don José turns his back on his childhood sweetheart and his military career to pursue the attentions of the fiery, free-spirited Carmen. When the popular, yet boastful toreador Escamillo arrives and sets his sights on Carmen, José finds he must compete for her affection. Performed in French with English supertitles.
