Suitable breaks vary between operas and may not be until the first interval.

2 Overview
Carmen at the Sydney Opera House D Reserve
The Story Synopsis
Small-town boy Don José is serving with the army far from home. His fellow soldiers are captivated by an alluring woman, Carmen. He thinks only of home, his mother, and the pretty Micaëla, a young girl who comes to deliver a letter from home.
Carmen is intrigued by the shy Don José. Arrested for beginning a fight, Carmen seduces Don José to win her freedom－and convinces him to desert the army to join her in an outlaw's life of liberty.
But her wandering eye has already found another lover: the dashing bullfighter, Escamillo. Don José's jealousy is fierce, Escamillo's passion is determined, Carmen's fate is set in the cards…
This vibrant production of Bizet's opera features glamorous girls and bullfighting boys in eye-popping colours. There are smugglers in suits, parades and punches, lust and loathing aplenty.
Irresistible Spanish tunes include the famous Toreador Song and flirty Habanera. Underneath those infectious rhythms, the dark undercurrent of fate pulses. Carmen knows she's dancing with death.
John Bell's production is a bold look at the intense relationships at the heart of this opera. It hones in on the wild love that promises freedom, while binding the lovers in an unbreakable web of fate.
