Win tickets to the Premier of Carmen at The O2

Closing: 12/04/2010

The O2 welcomes its first fully staged opera and you could be in with a chance of winning a pair of tickets to the premier, on 21st May 2010.

The world’s most popular opera comes to the world’s most popular music venue. Over 200 performers including dancers, acrobats and fire eaters.

Carmen, will take over The O2 in May for just three performances and follows on from highly successful and popular classical stagings of Carmina Burana, Andrea Bocelli and Ben Hur Live at the venue.

Directed by David Freeman, founder of The Opera Factory and whose previous credits include Madam Butterfly, Tosca and Carmen at the Royal Albert Hall, his production of Bizet’s masterpiece comes to The O2 on a never seen before grand and spectacular scale.

From the very first note to the final tragic chords, this stunning in-the-round production vividly portrays the powerful story of lust, superstition and murder that passionately unravels with fatal consequences. The wonderful set and fabulous costumes will bring to life the dusty atmosphere of the town square, the cool night air of the smugglers’ mountain hideout, and the colourful festivities outside of the bullring in Seville.

Sung in English, Bizet’s unforgettable score contains some of opera’s finest arias and best loved music. The rousing Song of the Toreador, the beguiling Seguidilla, the tantalising Habanera and the enchanting Flower Song - sensual music that perfectly captures the very essence of Spain.

Accompanied by The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, this world class company of singers, musicians and artists will provide an unforgettable production of Bizet’s Carmen, staged on an epic scale at The O2.
