RBO 2026-27: The Royal Opera – Carmen
Running time: 215 mins
Cast: Ginger Costa Jackson, Russell Thomas
Due to a booking conflict, the screening scheduled for Tuesday, 10 November 2026 at 19:00 has had to be cancelled. A new screening has now been arranged for Sunday, 15 November 2026 at 19:00.
Under the oppressive heat of the Spanish sun, the fiercely independent Carmen attracts the attention of Don José. She warns him not to fall in love with her, but his obsession knows no bounds.
Damiano Michieletto’s searing production returns, casting scorching light on the lust, violence and
destructive desire of Bizet’s ever-popular opera.
An all-star cast brings this white-hot drama to life, with Ginger Costa-Jackson in the fiery title role,
alongside Russell Thomas as the jealous and despairing Don José. Following his 2023 Royal Opera debut, Sesto Quatrini returns to conduct Bizet’s electrifying and sensual score.
