Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for most people.
The mood
Easygoing.
The pace
Unhurried and epic, at 2 hr 50 min.
What might put you off
  • It's long: 2 hr 50 min.
  • It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).

David McVicar's exhilarating new production, with Anne Sofie von Otter in the title role, restores the Opera Comique to Bizet's masterpiece. Philippe Jordan, in his Glyndebourne debut, conducts the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the Glyndebourne Chorus, and a cast which includes Marcus Haddock, Laurent Naouri, and Lisa Milne.
