Baritone

In Seville, Carmen seduces the young brigadier Don José before their passion turns to tragedy. "She leaves him, he kills her": Bizet's plot echoes a tragically recurring reality, making Carmen more political than ever. Jeanne Desoubeaux and a company of ten artists take over the urban space, where public debate can unfold. The Opéra-Comique invites audiences to this lyrical walk, from the Cité internationale des Arts to the Collège François Couperin, in the 4th arrondissement of Paris.

Carmen: itinerant opera-landscape

Cité Internationale des Arts

A procession in Venice. Antonio Vivaldi, Nisi Dominus (RV 608), and works by Locatelli, Razzi, Soto. Conducted by Vincent Dumestre.

Nisi Dominus

Basilique Notre-Dame

Combining humor and open-air opera, this adaptation is a festive, communal, and political experience! Carmen is a work of intimacy, almost everyday in feel, and Andalusia here comes down to three scenes: a square, the tavern, and the bullring.
