Carmen,
a Woman of Passion
Fascinated by Her Eyes, Men Become a Slave to Fateful Love
The New National Theatre, Tokyo offers
high school students opera appreciation classes every year in order
to help them understand how wonderful opera is. This year’s program
is Carmen, the most celebrated opera in the world. Set in Spain, the
opera uses exotic music full of passion to portray dramatic love and
hatred between three characters: the unrestrained Carmen, the naïve
José who is captivated by her to his ultimate ruin, and the splendid
toreador Escamillo. The NNTT hopes that those who have never seen opera
before will enjoy their first experience as part of the audience at
the NNTT.
