HCMC – Performance of French Opera “Carmen”

01 and 02 Jul 2016, 8 pm
HCMC Opera House

From Institut Français de HCM Ville:

“Carmen” is the most famous French opera in the world, if not the most played among all.

A steadfast and fiery woman, Carmen uses her charm to seduce Don José, a soldier garrisoned in Seville (Spain) and already engaged to Micaëla. When accused of provoking a fight in the tobacco factory where she works, Carmen is to be arrested by Don José himself. But the soldier, who has already fallen in love, will let the beauty flee and bitterly regret it.

It “Carmen” is a story of love, jealousy and freedom. “Carmen” is all about a strong woman’s will, her passion and her independence. Since women are the backbone of Vietnamese family and society, this opera couldn’t fit any better the Vietnamese audience.

It is the very first time the integral and original version of “Carmen” in its opera version will be played in Vietnam.
