"Carmen – the title evokes the blazing heat of a Spanish summer and Don José’s hopeless passion for the freedom-loving Carmen. This new chamber music version provides an opportunity to take pleasure in questioning this classic opera. In terms of the music, composer Marius Felix Lange sheds a new light on Bizet’s score, using texts by Martin Mutschler. This production of Carmen focuses on the opera’s central characters and addresses the highly modern question of whether we are capable of controlling our own desire. What happens to our yearnings when we cannot change the way we are? Carmen’s absolute concept of freedom signifies a liberation from predetermined roles – but at what price? Director Barbora Horáková Joly and her team examine these controversial questions with great sensuality and precision.
