Director

In this intimate version of Bizet's Carmen, scored for four voices with piano accompaniment, Rogue Opera presents a compact production to bring you the essence of the story, the complexities of the characters and the beauty of the music.
Carmen lives a bohemian life, seeking freedom outside of the law. José, drawn to Carmen and this unconventional world, is torn between love, duty and honour. Micaëla, innocent and pious, represents a simpler way of life and the charismatic bullfighter Escamillo soon becomes a rival for Carmen’s affections. Morales, the captain embodies everything that the Gypsies, Frasquita and Dancaire are not. Set against some of the most recognisable music in opera, this opera is a serious and still-relevant examination of the restrictions of societal stereotypes, obsessive love and the struggle of a spirited woman striving for independence and choice.
