Carmen

When the gypsy Carmen seduces Don Jose, he deserts from the army and abandons his fiancee Micaela. There is no going back, but his new life is not easy and the bullfighter Escamillo is a dangerous rival for Carmen's love. The result is a hot-blooded tragedy played with intense passion to Bizet's famous score.

Directed by Wayne Morris with costume designs by Nicola Jackson.
