Variations on a Theme

Opera Memphis

In Bizet’s sizzling epic of dark passion, Don José, a soldier with a checkered past, is seduced by Carmen, a fiery gypsy woman with an appetite for smuggling. Abandoning both his childhood sweetheart and his military career, José pursues Carmen’s attention with a desperation that grows into obsession.
