Carmen by Bizet, sab 20 abr 2024, De (2023/2024), Dirigido por Anna Weber,, Regente Mark Rohde, Levente Török, Mecklenburgisches Staatstheater, Schwerin, Alemanha

"What you desire will be given to you, life is like an intoxication, because you are free!" Seductress or champion of the sexual revolution? Victim of patriarchal society or symbol of female emancipation? Confident or self-destructive woman? Hardly any other opera figure is as fascinating as Carmen. She demands unconditional devotion from the soldier Don José: he should also be willing to transgress the bounds of the law. For her, love means freedom. But for him, freedom means insecurity. Don José's feelings are trapped in a society shaped by hierarchies and power. Carmen separates from him and remains true to herself until death. The interplay of love and death, the consistency of freedom, overcoming the fear of the unknown - these aspects of the fascinating story inspire the team around director Anna Weber to create a visually stunning, fantastic world of outlaws and the hunted.
