The opera "Karmena" will be performed at the Latvian National Opera and Ballet in Riga from 17 December 2026 to 17 April 2027. Directed by Marie-Eve Signeyrole, this staging sets Carmen's story in a suburban environment, surrounded by children provoking the police, drug dealers’ conflicts, and street artists. The production explores the harshness of relationships and the suppression of sensuality, desire, and freedom within a violent social context. Carmen herself becomes a new symbol of feminism, standing in stark contrast to her surroundings and challenging the established rules set by men.
