The World’s Most Popular Opera!

Step back into Paris 1875, when Bizet’s Carmen first scandalized audiences with its raw realism, dangerous passion, and unforgettable music. Now, for the first time in the U.S., you can experience this groundbreaking masterpiece as those first audiences did 150 years ago, complete with re-created 19th-century sets, costumes, and staging.

Carmen is the fiery temptress whose irresistible charm leads soldier Don José down a path of obsession, betrayal, and tragedy. Set against iconic melodies, like the Habanera, the Seguidilla, and the Toreador Song … our celebrated Maestro and TDO Orchestra bring you the world’s most popular opera.

All performances at the Margot and Bill Winspear Opera House
