CARMEN (Bizet) at Ugbrooke Park , Chudleigh, Devon

“CARMEN” is considered by many to be the most popular opera of all time. Bizet’s fabulous score is packed with instantly recognisable melodies, making it an all-time favourite with opera audiences. The dramatic story of Carmen - the fiery gypsy girl whose fickle rejection of her soldier lover in favour of a bullfighter leads to tragedy and death - is one that has resonated down the ages.
