The Metropolitan Opera, New York presents: Bizet's Carmen

The Met brings us one of opera's most enduringly powerful works. Dazzling young mezzo-soprano Aigul Akhmetshina leads a powerhouse quartet of stars in the complex and volatile title role, alongside tenor Piotr Beczala as Carmen's troubled lover Don José, soprano Angel Blue as the loyal Micaëla, and bass-baritone Kyle Ketelsen as the swaggering Escamillo. Daniele Rustioni conducts the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra and Chorus in tonight's performance of Bizet's heart-pounding score.
