In one of the most popular operas of all time, Bizet's free-spirited femme fatale, Carmen, is the kind of woman your mother warned you about. We meet Carmen as Don José is arresting her. So powerful and potent is Carmen's beauty and passion that he impulsively leaves behind a career in uniform and follows her into a new life among her people: smugglers and fortune-tellers. Their budding romance ends abruptly when she leaves him for a bullfighter named Escamillo. Fueled by jealousy and obsession, Don José tracks her down and confronts her at a bullfight, where we'll find out if she has one last trick up her sleeve.
