Carmen at San Diego Opera

San Diego Symphony Orchestra

Music by Georges Bizet
Libretto by Ludovic Halévy and Henri Meilhac

The most fearless and indomitable heroine in all opera is back in Carmen! When Carmen tosses a flower to the soldier Don José, he becomes obsessed, leaving his post to join her band of smugglers. But when she loses interest and sets her sights on a bullfighter, Don José may not be able to handle the rejection.

With a score packed with opera classics, including the “Habanera,” the “Toreador Song,” and one of the greatest overtures ever written, you’ll be joining Don José as you fall under the spell of Carmen.

Sung in French with English and Spanish translations projected above the San Diego Civic Theatre stage.


The San Diego Symphony Orchestra's appearance on this San Diego Opera production is supported, in part, by The Joan and Irwin Jacobs San Diego Symphony and San Diego Opera Collaboration Fund.
