The music was beautiful. Modern production so one has to be prepared for that. The first half was a little bit heavy with violence but the second half was more enjoyable 😉

The play being so modern compared to the classival version. The mezzsoprano was indeed the highlight of the show and the theatre is amaging

Ensnaring opera lovers Bizet’s Carmen, set during Franco’s final years, blends seduction, obsession, and drama, perfect for opera lovers, drama fans & newcomers.

ENO’s bold revival by Calixto Bieito & Jamie Manton wowed critics in 2012 & 2023 and has been hailed by The Guardian, FT, and The Stage for its raw, modern edge.

Hear the iconic Habanera and Toreador Song amid gunmetal car park sets, steel bullrings, visceral 1970s staging. Book your Carmen opera London tickets before they vanish.

Mezzo-soprano Niamh O’Sullivan leads as Carmen with John Findon, Cory McGee, and Sarah-Jane Brandon, co-conducted by Clelia Cafiero(La bohème 2024), and former Mackerras Conducting Fellow Olivia Clarke.

This opera is out for a limited London run: only 10 evening shows at the iconic London Coliseum are playing, so grab your Carmen opera tickets now!

Set in scorching late‑Franco Spain, Carmen follows free‑spirited Carmen who ensnares gentle soldier Don José, drawing him away from duty into jealousy and crime. As he falls deeper, she shifts her passion to charismatic bullfighter Escamillo, sparking a deadly love triangle. Bizet’s iconic melodies pulse throughout this gritty, English‑sung drama. Book your tickets for Carmen, the opera where love can cost everything.
