The Spanish heat and gypsy passion of Carmen take to the stage as The Royal Opera presents the first revival of Francesca Zambello's vibrant production with Tanya McCallin's richly coloured designs. It's a great stage recreation of the sun-drenched and sultry world of 19th-century Spain, with its ranks of soldiers and crowds of peasants, its gypsies and bullfighters, its spectacle and its deadly, white-hot emotions. Star tenor Marcelo Álvarez is Don José, the soldier she forces to murderous jealousy over her new affair with the bullfighter Escamillo, played by Kyle Ketelsen. It's a perfect cast to bring alive the sexy solos, rousing choruses, impassioned arias and Spanish dances of one of the most famously tuneful of all operas and one of the most enduringly popular works in the entire repertory.

Fantastic production for a cabaret. Very sexy and well sung. Very little to do with 19th century Andalucia.
Ah yes, and very entertaining. Wonderful for people who don't know and don't care about the difference between different Hispanic cultures.
But, if this brings people to the opera, welcome!!

@Oenpilli They never say the Opera is Spanish; and the opera is set in "the sun-drenched and sultry world of 19th-century Spain", and it is full of 'Spanish heat' and 'Spanish dances', so nothing they said was wrong.

ROH should know that Bizet's (french) music is NOT spanish at all. Almost as bad as saying Maikeilah for Meekahehlah (Micaela).

Just a quick note...the tenor for Don Jose in this Covent Garden production is not Marcelo Alvarez, it's Jonas Kauffman. I love both of these tenors, but their voices are completely individual from each other. Anyway, just throwing that out there. Still a wonderful production, one of my favorites.
