About Carmen - Royal Ballet and Opera
Be seduced by opera’s untameable heroine.
The free-spirited Carmen declares that any man she loves should beware. But even she is unprepared for what happens when she decides to seduce police officer Don José...

Packed with catchy tunes like the sultry ‘Habanera’ and the flamboyant ‘Toreador Song’, Carmen is an unforgettable night out whether it’s your first time or your fiftieth!
