What you will see
The Royal Opera broadcasts live from London Carmen, by Georges Bizet, with a libretto by Meilhac and Halévy based on the novella by Prosper Mérimée. The staging is by Damiano Michieletto, with set design by Paolo Fantin, costumes by Carla Teti and choreography by Chiara Vecchi. Sesto Quatrini conducts the Orchestra and Chorus of the Royal Opera. The cast includes Ginger Costa-Jackson as Carmen, Russell Thomas as Don José, Adriana González and Łukasz Goliński. The opera is sung in French and screened with Spanish subtitles, with one interval. For audiences in Córdoba there is the added attraction of seeing how a great European opera house reinterprets Mérimée's Andalusia.
