El Hanager Theater will host the new musical performance opera Carmen directed by Reem Hegab from the 7th to 23rd of June.

The performance is a story that invites music, rhythm, colour, Spanish flair and passion. It is a rich soil for creativity and the many adaptations of the story have turned it into a guaranteed audience magnet.

Carmen is an opera by French composer Georges Bizet in the 19th century, based on a novella by Prosper Mérimée, which has become one of history’s most iconic opera characters.

Opera Carmen

It tells the story of a wild and fascinating Spanish gypsy girl who is working in a factory which corrupts an officer, before the short romance becomes entangled with passion, murder and jealousy.

The Carmen's music combines original Bizet music with compositions by Saad Mamdouh.
