Ellen Kent Productions: Carmen at Richmond Theatre

Carmen is the story of the bewitching gypsy girl whose tantalising beauty lures a soldier to desertion and leads to her own murder. Set in Seville and reflecting a Goya painting, with fountains, flowers and orange trees, Carmen guarantees an evening of passion and romance, and features some of the most evocative and best-loved melodies in opera: The Habanera, The Seguidilla, The Flower Song, The Chanson Bohème and perhaps the best-known baritone aria of all The Toreador’s Song.
