The world’s most popular opera is brought to life with a truly stellar line up of international opera stars. A passionate and powerful tale, Bizet’s celebrated ‘Carmen’ has it all.

N o other story, or character has held audiences as captivated as the fiery Carmen and Russian mezzo, Nadezhda Karyazina will certainly raise the bar if not the pulse, for Festival Opera audiences.  Australian tenor Matthew Reardon matches her fire with a powerful interpretation of Don Jose, Carmen’s lover.  Escamillo, the handsome bullfighter, also competing for Carmen’s affections, is sung by Moses Mackay, member of the international success story, Sol3 Mio.  We’re priviledged to include this generation’s most beloved soprano, Anna Leese, in our cast. Anna will reprise the role of the Micaela, having first performed for audiences at the Royal Opera House in London.
