In Seville, the soldier Don José is captivated by Carmen, who refuses to let anyone control her life. His attachment pulls him away from duty and towards jealousy as the bullfighter Escamillo enters her world. Georges Bizet’s opera follows a relationship shaped by desire, independence, and possession.

A personal starting point: memorable melodies, clear dramatic stakes, and very different worlds.
Shows where I find myself following the pit as closely as the people on stage.
The orchestra brought out so many colors beyond the famous tunes. I liked the tension between the public scenes and the more intimate exchanges.
