The Ellie Caulkins Opera House at Denver Performing Arts Complex What fate, or choice, waits for the woman no man can tame? But when she leaves him for a charismatic bullfighter, Don Jose’s infatuation turns obsessive. Not a soul can resist Carmen’s seductive charm, not even the naïve Don Jose. We conclude Opera Colorado’s grandest season to date with Bizet’s smoldering drama, Carmen, filled with some of opera’s most iconic melodies-including Carmen’s “Habanera” and the rousing Toreador song. Premiered March 3, 1875, Opéra-Comique (Paris, France) Libretto by Ludovic Halévy and Henri Meilhac Seduction-Obsession-Murder Tickets On Sale Now Carmen
