However, it appears there are two different "Carmen" productions mentioned: an opera and a film. The opera production is a 3-hour event featuring Ginger Costa-Jackson and Russell Thomas, while the film details provided seem unrelated to the opera. Given the information, I will proceed with the opera production.
The opera Carmen tells the story of a fiercely independent woman who attracts the attention of Don José, despite warning him not to fall in love with her. This classic tale of obsession and desire is set to scorching music, conducted by Sesto Quatrini.
Damiano Michieletto's production brings this white-hot drama to life, with an all-star cast that includes Ginger Costa-Jackson in the title role and Russell Thomas as the jealous Don José. The event will take place at the Towner in Eastbourne, starting on Sunday, 15 November 2026. Tickets are with the button beside the article.
The opera is sung in French with English subtitles, making it accessible to a wide range of audiences. With its themes of lust, violence, and destructive desire, this production of Carmen is sure to be a thrilling experience.
