One of the most popular operas of all time, Carmen 'is about sex, violence, and racism - and its corollary: freedom,' says Olivier Award-winning director Richard Eyre about his new production of Bizet's drama. 'It is one of the inalienably great works of art. It's sexy, in every sense. And I think it should be shocking.' Angela Gheorghiu plays the seductive gypsy of the title in her role debut, opposite Roberto Alagna as the obsessed Don José.
