About

When the matador faces the bull — it's a fight to the death.
Surrounded by jealousy, obsession and violence, Carmen too must fight for her freedom — whatever it takes, and whatever it costs…

Bizet's thrilling opera masterpiece is packed with some of the most recognisable operatic music ever written. From the fiery 'Habanera' to the swaggering 'Toreador Song' and the foreboding 'Card Aria' — the score is as dramatic as the story it tells.

Exceptional professional singers perform alongside a vibrant community chorus of all ages accompanied by the Blackheath Halls Orchestra.

Whether you have seen Carmen before or are discovering it for the first time, this production promises a passionate and gritty re-telling of one of the most powerful operatic stories.
