Sydney: Tickets to Opera Australia’s ‘Carmen’ at the Sydney Opera House
Fall for the sweeping romance and thrilling turns of Georges Bizet’s beloved ‘Carmen’, as envisioned by Melbourne Theatre Company Artistic Director Anne-Louise Sarks. Witness the doomed love affair of Don José and the mysterious Carmen, brought to life by a stellar cast of dynamic performers, promising an unforgettable theatrical spectacle.
