Hearts and nerves are on edge. Carmen wants to be free! For this she is murdered by Don José. Georges Bizet's great opera is pure passion in a frenzy of sweeping melodies. And a top ensemble guarantees excitement and goose bumps.

The mezzo-soprano Gaëlle Arquez is currently considered the ideal cast for the fascinating title role. At her side as the jealous Don José is François Rougier, a tenor as radiant as he is expressive. And Sabine Devieilhe, with her luminous soprano, is a dream cast for the peasant girl Micaëla. René Jacobs is at the podium of the playful B'Rock Orchestra, who, always oriented to the original, is guaranteed to elicit something new from the well-known musical drama.
