Synopsis

The Threepenny Carmen is a world premiere production of Bizet's Carmen by The Atlanta Opera.

The Threepenny Carmen is not simply a stripped down version of the original opera, it digs into what Bizet’s 1875 classic might mean for audiences today. Capturing its essence as an exploration of sexual freedom, social hierarchies and the class system.

Carmen is no stranger to The Threepenny Bar. In this watering hole at the crossroads of nowhere, everyone has a story.

The Atlanta Opera's all-new version of this beloved classic explores a modern Carmen. Set at the fringes of society, Bizet's music is intertwined with the dramatic stomps and flourishes of flamenco.

The Threepenny Carmen walks a thin line between lust and death in one of opera's most iconic love triangles.
