About Carmen
Follow the tragic descent of the impressionable Don José, whose infatuation with the bold and untamed Carmen leads him to abandon his military post and spiral into a life of crime. But Carmen’s love is as fleeting as it is fiery—and when her heart shifts to the enigmatic bullfighter Escamillo, Don José’s desire curdles into dangerous obsession. As passion gives way to jealousy, the stage is set for a devastating finale.
