Opera Movie Screening | SF Main Library

2006 Royal Opera House production featuring Anna Caterina Antonacci, Jonas Kaufmann, and Ildebrando D’Arcangelo. This opera is filled with love, obsession, bullfights, cigarette girls, and smugglers.

The tragic story of the unforgettable Carmen plays out with passionate intensity in a vibrant production that makes Bizet’s familiar score seem fresh and new.
