White hot opera Carmen will be shown at Powys arts venue

The Royal Opera: Carmen will be shown at the Wyeside Arts Centre in Builth Wells on Sunday, November 15 at 2pm.

An all-star cast brings this white-hot drama to life!

Under the oppressive heat of the Spanish sun, the fiercely independent Carmen attracts the attention of Don José.

She warns him not to fall in love with her, but his obsession knows no bounds.

Damiano Michieletto’s searing production returns, casting scorching light on the lust, violence and destructive desire of Bizet’s ever-popular opera.

Starring Ginger Costa-Jackson in the fiery title role, alongside Russell Thomas as the jealous and despairing Don José.

Following his 2023 Royal Opera debut, Sesto Quatrini returns to conduct Bizet’s electrifying and sensual score.

It will be sung in French with English subtitles.

The opera will run for about three hours and 35 minutes with one interval.

Tickets are £18 for adults and £17 for concessions and all tickets are subject to a £1 admin fee.
