"Toréador, en garde!" Captivating rhythms, ravishing melodies. Two machos and a powerful woman: Carmen – plus all the torrid heat of Spain. Just the right blend for passion and death. "A work of shocking immorality!" wrote one disgruntled critic after the world première. He was right – and there's nothing wrong with that. Bizet's masterwork continues to captivate.

Auf in den Kampf! Mitreißende Rhythmen, hinreißende Melodien. Zwei Machos und eine starke Frau: Carmen - dazu die Hitze Spaniens. Der richtige Mix für Lust und Tod. "Ein in höchstem Maße unmoralisches Werk", verriss man die Uraufführung. Stimmt! Und das ist gut so. Bizets Meisterwerk zieht in den Bann.
