Carmen still arouses passion today. Accompanied by five musicians, the lead singer of Moriarty and Birds on Wire talks about the play and in the end, gives life to all of its characters. An amazing joyful and open show. 

This version of Carmen both told and sung is a true declaration of love from director François Gremaud to his masterful performer. After Phèdre ! and Giselle, he brings his trilogy on feminine figures in the classical performing arts to a close. The passionate Bohemian from Bizet’s comic opera came as a true sensation in 1875. Authentic and free, she caused a scandal. Her fate is tragic but Rosemary Standley makes her triumph through freedom and joy, her true life forces.
