Carmen, one of the most widely performed in the world. From Mérimée’s original
character, Calixto Bieito’s Carmen retains her profoundly Iberian contours and the
ardent temperament of a woman living off small‑time trafficking. This rebel, however, is
a thoroughly contemporary creature. A tantalising and indomitable vamp, she lives life
in the fast lane, in an urgent desire to fully exist.
