Competition

Win a double pass to attend The Australian Ballet’s Carmen in Melbourne

Regent Theatre, Melbourne | 14 March 2025

The Australian Plus members have the chance to win one of five double passes to attend The Australian Ballet’s Carmen on Friday 14 March, 2025 at the Regent Theatre in Melbourne.

 

Johan Inger’s award-winning production of Carmen is an exhilarating journey that thrusts Georges Bizet’s 19th-century opera into the modern world with a breath-taking display of athleticism and passion.

 

Created in 2015, Inger’s contemporary retelling of Prosper Mérimée’s 1845 novella is a darkly compelling story of the dangerously seductive Carmen, whose love affair with Don José ends in brutal tragedy. Broadening its gaze beyond its fiery heroine, Inger’s Carmen is seen through the eyes of a boy bewildered by the ugly manifestations of machismo.

 

Using Georges Bizet's famous score, Inger has reimagined the classic opera, transporting it to dance in a fascinating production. Including sublime passages for soloists and duos and ensemble sequences of consummate virtuosity, Carmen brings you the heat of southern Spain in a powerfully unique production.

 

Carmen contains mature adult themes including sexual content and depictions of violence, that some people may find disturbing. Carmen contains the use of theatrical weapons.
