From the moment Carmen makes her entrance on her motorcycle, she becomes the center of a carousel of passion, jealousy and drama. A fiery, strong and confident woman who refuses to be captured becomes a red herring for the men who want to possess her. And as so often in real life, it has fatal consequences. 

Georges Bizet's opera about the seductive and independent Carmen is one of the world's most performed and beloved operas. 

The captivating music is known far beyond opera circles and is frequently quoted in pop culture. It can be heard in films, pop songs, advertising jingles and at sporting events. Even those who have never set foot in an opera house can whistle  Toreadorarian  and know the passionate and freedom-loving Carmen. 

Carmen

Malmo Opera, Malmo

A young woman takes a stand against the destruction of nature. But her determination founders because of the most human emotion of all: Love.

Melusine suffers under her narrow-minded husband and her mother’s inverted snobbery. The young woman finds an alternative world in a wild, overgrown park, in which Pythia, »Queen of the Willows«, rules. Pythia spurs Melusine into action when the park’s destined to make way for a castle. Given a fish tail, thereby making her irresistible, Melusine seduces lots of workmen, but can’t save the park. When the castle’s opened Melusine falls in love with the owner, the Graf von Lusignan. Pythia swears to avenge Melusine’s betrayal.
