I went to see the Opera North production of Carmen on Saturday evening...
It was Carmen meets the Mounties in Ohio and personally I struggled with the setting. At least I stayed the course unlike quite a few people who simply gave up and left before the end. The orchestra were brilliant and played the wonderful music with real passion: it's just a shame about the rest of it!

I quite liked the Carmen, there at the same time as you but didn't see you. I thought the second act was terrific and the final act was visually wonderful and had a really threatening atmosphere. The singing was pretty good too.
