- Synopsis:
- The heat and passion of Bizet's opera 'Carmen' is brought to life as never before in Francesco Rosi's definitive, highly-acclaimed version starring Placido Domingo, Julia Migenes and Ruggero Raimondi.
In Seville of 1820 a naive soldier Don Jose falls under the spell of sensual temptress Carmen. He deserts from the army, gives up everything to be with her, only to be spurned in favour of the toreador Escamillo. His desperate pleas for her to return are met with further humiliation and Carmen's taunts lead to a dramatic finale. - Actors:
