Her short temper brings her to the attention of the kind and charismatic Don Jose, who falls head over heels in love with her. Stunningly beautiful and wholly aware, her habit of taking and breaking hearts can only lead to trouble for her and her bedazzled targets. She might not have been the original femme fatale, but Carmen has sure carved a niche in our consciousness as one of opera's most dangerous women. One of the most explosively entertaining works in the repertoire, Georges Bizet's Carmen couples an enticing storyline with a heart-stopping score that'll have you on the very edge of your seat. Lorenzo Viotti and Marco Armiliato will both share conductor duties. The world-renowned opera tells the fiery story of Carmen and Don Jose, whose doomed love for her destroys them both. Sir Richard Eyre's stunning production of Bizet's Carmen returns to the Met, with J'Nai Bridges taking on the iconic title role. Metropolitan Opera: Der Fliegende Hollander (May 30 - Jun 10, 2023).
