Acclaimed English director Carrie Cracknell brings a vital new production of one of opera's most enduringly powerful works, reinvigorating the classic story with a staging that moves the action to the modern day. Cracknell finds at the heart of the drama issues that could not be more relevant today: gendered violence, abusive labour structures, and the desire to break through societal boundaries. Dazzling mezzo-soprano Aigul Akhmetshina stars in the complex and volatile title role, alongside tenor Piotr Beczała as Don José, soprano Angel Blue as Micaëla, and bass-baritone Kyle Ketelsen as Escamillo. Daniele Rustioni conducts.
