Bizet's opera returns to Bibliografen's big screen in Damiano Michieletto's production, filmed from the Royal Opera House. The story follows the independent Carmen, whose refusal to be possessed draws the obsessive Don José into a spiral of jealousy, violence and destructive desire, all set under the blazing Spanish sun.
Ginger Costa-Jackson takes on the fiery title role opposite Russell Thomas as Don José, while Sesto Quatrini conducts Bizet's electrifying and sensual score. The screening is part of Bibliografen Scenekunst, which brings opera, ballet, theatre and classical concerts to the cinema.
