CARMEN An opera by Georges Bizet in four acts Musical director and conductor Jānis Liepiņš Conductor Normunds Vaicis Director Marija Eva Sinjerola Scenographer Fabien Tenier Costume designer Yashi Lighting designer Filips Bertome Soloists, LNO orchestra and choir Admired and hated by women, desired and condemned by men, Carmen changes the world around her. The hatred towards her was born in the lust that this woman arouses... Director Marija-Eva Sinierola explains about her debut on the LNO stage: We decided to portray Carmen's story in the suburbs, on the outskirts of the big city: children playing in yards and provoking the police, drug dealers' showdowns, street artists and dancers who seek to express themselves... A small and violent world characterized by the incredible cruelty of human relations and a burning thirst for freedom. More:https://www.opera.lv/lv/izrade/karmena/

At the same time celebrated and hated by her own sex, desired and punished by the opposite one, Carmen upsets. The hatred she causes comes from the desire she arises... Stage Director Marie-Eve Signeyrole explains on her debut at the Latvian National Opera: We chose to place Carmen’s action in a suburb, in the outskirts of a big city: the children who play outside and provoke the police, drug dealers settling scores, street artists and dancers trying to expressing themselves… A small scale and violent world marked by the extreme hardness of human relationships. We needed a place where sensuality, desire and freedom are forbidden by the social context. Carmen’s body has to be in itself a counterpoint to the concrete body of the buildings. A kind of new feminism related to the populations of the suburbs; an assumed femininity that plays with the rules established by men.

Tajā pašā laikā sava dzimuma svinēta un nīsta, pretējā dzimuma vēlēta un sodīta, Karmena apbēdina. Naids, ko viņa izraisa, rodas no vēlmes, ko viņa rada... Režisore Māra Ieva Signeirola debijā Latvijas Nacionālajā operā skaidro:Mēs izvēlējāmies Karmenas darbību novietot priekšpilsētā, lielas pilsētas nomalē: bērni, kas spēlē ārā un provocē policiju, narkotiku tirgotāji, kas norēķinās, ielu mākslinieki un dejotāji, kas cenšas izpausties... Maza mēroga un vardarbīga pasaule, ko raksturo cilvēku attiecību ārkārtējā grūtība. Mums bija vajadzīga vieta, kur jutekliskumu, vēlmi un brīvību aizliedz sociālais konteksts. Karmenas ķermenim pašam par sevi ir jābūt pretpunktam ēku betona korpusam. Sava veida jauns feminisms, kas saistīts ar priekšpilsētu iedzīvotājiem; pieņemta sievišķība, kas spēlējas ar vīriešu
