Passion that burns too hot.
The season’s ultimate thrill, Bizet’s Carmen erupts with raw emotion and intoxicating drama. International sensation Julia Bullock makes her electrifying role debut as the free-spirited heroine whose charisma captivates everyone around her—especially a young soldier whose infatuation turns perilous. Fueled by unforgettable melodies and rhythms that simmer and surge, this is opera at its most seductive, volatile, and utterly unmissable.
