Bizet's opera Carmen, with the Portuguese Symphony Orchestra and the Choir of the National Theatre of São Carlos, in a co-production with the Centro Cultural de Belém.

Full details

Synopsis Pre-concert talk with Bárbara Villalobos, 30 min. before each performance. In French with Portuguese subtitles. Portuguese Symphony Orchestra and Choir of the National Theatre of São Carlos Immediately after its publication in 1845, Carmen, the novella by Prosper Mérimée, was labeled shocking and scandalous. Thirty years later, Georges Bizet premiered 'his' Carmen in Paris; since then, it has become one of the most frequently staged operas worldwide. The story of the gypsy who does not hesitate to die in the name of freedom and love remains one of the most impressive and enduring contemporary myths about the mysterious nature of Woman. Over the years, Carmen, revisited by countless directors, has gained new facets and interpretations. However, the essential element remains: Carmen, the fatal anti-heroine, remains the inflexible center of all versions.

Sinopse Conversa pré-concerto com Bárbara Villalobos, 30 min. antes de cada récita. Em francês e legendada em português. Orquestra Sinfónica Portuguesa e Coro do Teatro Nacional de São Carlos Logo após a sua publicação em 1845, Carmen , a novela de Prosper Mérimée, foi rotulada de chocante e escandalosa. Trinta anos mais tarde, Georges Bizet estreia a «sua» Carmen em Paris; desde então, tornou-se uma das óperas mais frequentemente encenadas em todo o mundo. A história da cigana que não hesita em morrer em nome da liberdade e do amor permanece um dos mais impressionantes e duradouros mitos contemporâneos sobre a misteriosa natureza da Mulher. Ao longo dos anos, Carmen , revisitada por inúmeros encenadores, ganhou novas facetas e interpretações. Contudo, subsiste o elemento essencial: Carmen, a anti-heroína fatal, mantém-se como o centro inflexível de todas as versões.
