Curtain Call in Bizet’s Carmen with Daniele Rustioni, Aigul Akhmetshina, Piotr Beczała 1.16.24

“A DARING NEW PRODUCTION ... TAKES FLIGHT. ... A Carmen that felt alive.” —The Washington Post “A magnetic Aigul Akhmetshina ... TRULY IMPRESSIVE” —The New York Times The Met begins the New Year with a vital new production of one of opera’s most enduringly powerful works. Acclaimed English director Carrie Cracknell makes her Met debut, reinvigorating the classic story with a staging that moves the action to the modern day and finds at the heart of the drama issues that could not be more relevant today: gendered violence, abusive labor structures, and the desire to break through societal boundaries. Dazzling young mezzo-soprano Aigul Akhmetshina leads a powerhouse quartet of stars in the complex and volatile title role, alongside tenor Piotr Beczała as Carmen’s troubled lover Don José, soprano Angel Blue as the loyal Micaëla, and bass-baritone Kyle Ketelsen as the swaggering Escamillo. Daniele Rustioni conducts Bizet’s heart-pounding score.
