Pittsburgh Opera's Carmen

Wow, what a woman!

   Buy Tickets

Don Jose’s life was just fine – nice girlfriend, stable career – until he arrested Carmen, stunningly beautiful and terrifying all at once. There aren’t many women who will make you throw it all away, but Carmen’s motto is “live free and die free” – and she proves it.
“If I love you, beware,” (from the Habanera), indeed.
