«Κάρμεν»

Περιγραφή στα Αγγλικά

Bizet's Carmen — the cigarette-factory worker who refuses to be owned, and the soldier whose obsession with her curdles into murder — comes to the Greek National Opera under conductor Konstantinos Terzakis and director Roman Zilber.

The title role alternates across the run, with Georgian mezzo Anita Rachvelishvili among the leads — a singer who has built an international career on this exact part. The 1875 premiere scandalized Paris by pulling opera toward raw realism.

Expect a full house at the company's Stavros Niarchos Hall on the Faliro coast, a late-spring fixture of the main-stage season. Sung in French with surtitles; an early-evening, formal night open to anyone holding a seat.
