One of the most popular and masterful operas of all time, Carmen examines issues of sex, violence and racism, as experienced by a red-blooded woman who will risk everything, including her own life, to live the life she chooses. Daring, shocking, gorgeous and ground-breaking, it reaches Cinnabar’s intimate stage of for the first time ever.
