Set List'Carmen,' Bizet (Semi-staged; sung in French with English surtitles)
Performance NotesGlyndebourne Festival Opera makes its traditional visit to the Proms with that most red- blooded of red-blooded operas, Carmen. Bizet’s musical tale of a Gypsy factory-worker who seduces a military corporal before discarding him for the more glamorous toreador has all the ingredients of a tightly sprung operatic drama.

Anja Bihlmaier conducts Glyndebourne’s fine cast and chorus, along with the London Philharmonic Orchestra.
