Òpera Popularde Barcelona
Georges Bizet · A production by Jaume Villanueva
Freedom, desire and violence in the bitter Barcelona of the 1960s.
Carmen lives without asking permission in a world that cannot tolerate her freedom. Don José’s obsession and Escamillo’s arrival propel the story towards an ending this production examines through gender-based violence, without reducing it to a picturesque postcard.
Director’s notes
Our Carmen sets out to chronicle a homicide: the violent murder of a woman.
