Carmen


purchase tickets
 


Conceived and directed by Maria Todaro, this powerful reimagining of Bizet’s iconic opera, set against the backdrop of the Spanish Civil War in 1937, Carmen emerges not only as a charismatic woman who irresistibly draws people to her but also as a freedom fighter.

Todaro’s Carmen celebrates the beauty, intelligence, and resilience of women, portraying a young yet profoundly complex Carmen. Her fiery spirit and unyielding independence captivates audiences, serving as a tribute to the strength, passion, and depth of women throughout history.

With its timeless themes of love, the complexities of relationships, and the fight for freedom, Carmen remains an electrifying masterpiece that resonates across generations.
