Event Description

Join us at The Regal this May for the first show in the inaugural Regal Opera Festival.

In this intimate version of Bizet’s Carmen, scored for four voices with piano accompaniment and a new English script by Director Bronwen Stephens-Harding, Rogue Opera presents a compact production re-imagined to bring you the essence of the story, the complexities of the characters and the beauty of the music.

Bizet’s Carmen is more than just a grand spectacle or operatic tragedy. Bizet broke operatic convention by celebrating proletarian and immoral ways of life, vividly bringing to life Carmen in a way that does justice to her character as a complex, proud and spirited woman.

Rogue Opera strips away the pomp and pageantry to offer a raw and intimate piece of theatre, giving an insight into the human emotions at the centre of this story of seduction, obsession, rejection and revenge.

Carmen – Reimagined is presented in thee parts, divided by 20-minute intervals, with a total running time of approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes. The opera is sung in French, with English dialogue.
