Passion. Manipulation. Obsession.

In soap operas and reality shows, it’s totally trashy. On the Palm Beach Opera stage, it’s completely classy.

Our steamy performance begins as wild Carmen seduces naïve soldier Don José. His innocence quickly turns as Carmen’s manipulations bring out the very worst in him. Intensely passionate melodies performed by world-class singers bring the desire and madness from the stage directly into your heart.

Enter the uninhibited world of Carmen from racy beginning to jaw-dropping end. Ignite your night with opera’s bad girl.

Sung in French with English supertitles projected above the stage.
