Carmen

Carmen is a classic opera by French composer Georges Bizet, telling the dramatic story of a free-spirited woman and the soldier who becomes obsessed with her. Expect passionate singing, colorful costumes, and orchestra music—it's theatrical and emotionally intense, with themes of love and jealousy. The music includes famous pieces you may recognize. Opera can be a wonderful introduction to live theater for older kids who enjoy stories with real stakes and beautiful music, though younger children may find the length and tragic ending challenging.
