Opera on screen: "Carmen"

What's it about

Carmen is an opera in four acts composed by Georges Bizet, with a libretto by Henri Meilhac and Ludovic Halévy, based on the homonymous novel by Prosper Mérimée. Set in Seville in the mid-19th century, the plot follows the soldier Don José and his relationship with Carmen, a free-spirited and independent cigar maker, in a context marked by passion, jealousy and the clash between the desire for freedom and the social conventions of the time.
