Prom 52: Bizet’s Carmen from Glyndebourne
6 6 people viewed this event.
Glyndebourne Festival Opera makes its traditional visit to the Proms with that most red- blooded of red-blooded operas, Carmen. Bizet’s musical tale of a Gypsy factory-worker who seduces a military corporal before discarding him for the more glamorous toreador has all the ingredients of a tightly sprung operatic drama.
Anja Bihlmaier conducts Glyndebourne’s fine cast and chorus, along with the London Philharmonic Orchestra.
