Carmen
Adelaide
Event
Smuggler. Seductress. Rebel. Risk-taker. She's the woman who turns every head - and breaks every rule.
Bizet's Carmen returns in a bold new production that pulses with danger, desire, and defiance. Emerging Director Laura Hansford - definitely one to watch - reimagines this operatic classic, diving deep into the revolutionary heart of its iconic heroine. Carmen refuses to be owned, and her fiery spirit ignites a tragic love story that still burns with relevance today.
From the electrifying overture to the final devastating moments, Carmen is a visceral ride through lust, jealousy, and freedom. The music is unforgettable - sensual dances, soaring love songs, explosive choruses - all driven by the relentless beat of fate.
This is Carmen for our time: provocative, passionate, and unapologetically powerful. Set in the opera's original 1825 Seville setting and viewed through a lens of maximalist surrealism, Hansford challenges us to rethink the femme fatale, asking urgent questions about autonomy, obsession, and the cost of living freely.
Featuring a powerhouse trio including South Australian Charlotte Kelso playing Carmen, Samuel Dale Johnson returning to Adelaide to play Escamillo, and Gerard Schneider playing Don Jose.
Don't miss this thrilling new take on one of opera's greatest masterpieces. Let Carmen seduce you - and shake you to your core.
