About this event

Bizet's passionate Carmen in concert with star cast led by Natalia Kutateladze. Features the sultry Habanera, rousing Toreador Song, and Ireland's finest opera talent with full orchestra and chorus.

Bizet's Carmen comes to irresistible life in this concert performance with Natalia Kutateladze—whose 'sheer style and poise sets her in a class of her own' (The Guardian)—as the free-spirited femme fatale.

Acclaimed by Tchaikovsky as 'a masterpiece in every sense of the word', 150 years after its controversial premiere, Carmen still has the power to shock with torrid passion and seductive sensuality. One of opera's most memorable scores includes the sultry Habanera, rousing 'Toreador Song', and irresistible Seguidilla.

Rising star Irish soprano Sarah Brady sings Micaëla; Noah Stewart, 'the most talked-about young American tenor' (Ars Atlanta), is Don José; Gyula Nagy the handsome toreador Escamillo.
