Bizet’s Carmen

Russian State Opera will showcase the dramatic and powerful production of Bizet’s Carmen on February 7 and 8 at the Dubai Opera.

The show is set to make the audience feel the thrill of fiery passion, jealousy, and violence of 19th century Seville through Bizet’s most popular opera. It follows the story of the downfall of Don José, a naïve soldier who falls head over heels in love with Carmen, a seductive, free-spirited woman.
