A special encore of Richard Eyre's 2010 production of Bizet's masterpiece starring soprano Elīna Garanča as opera's timeless man-eater.

Bizet's masterpiece of the gypsy seductress who lives by her own rules has had an impact far beyond the opera house. The opera's melodic sweep is as irresistible as the title character herself, a force of nature who has become a defining female cultural figure. Carmen was a scandal at its premiere but soon after became a triumphal success and has remained one of the most frequently staged operas in the world.

Elīna Garanča owns the stage as opera's timeless man-eater, with impassioned tenor Roberto Alagna as her lover Don José. Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts Sir Richard Eyre's powerful production, a Met favorite since its premiere more than 15 years ago.
