From the very first note to the final tragic chords, this stunning in-the-round production of Bizet's masterpiece vividly portrays the powerful story of lust, superstition, and murder that passionately unravels with fatal consequences.

Carmen at The O2 Arena will be performed by a cast of over 150 artists including dancers, acrobats and fire-eaters. The wonderful set and fabulous costumes wil bring to life the atmosphere of the town square, the cool night air of the smugglers' mountain hideout and the colourful festivities outside the bullring in Seville.

Sung in English, Bizet's unforgettable score contains some of opera's finest arias and best loved music. The rousing Song of the Toreador, the beguiling Seguidilla, the tantalizing Habanera and the enchanting Flower Song - sensual music that perfectly captures the very essence of Spain. This world class company of singers, musicians and artists will provide an unforgettable production of Bizet's Carmen, staged on an epic scale at The O2.

"Les nuits d'été" op. 7 (Summer Nights) is a song cycle based on a setting of six poems by Théophile Gautier. Completed in 1841 and initially composed for either baritone, contralto, or mezzo-soprano and piano, the song cycle has since been adapted for soprano voice, and also with full orchestral accompaniment.

The Eclipse Chamber Orchestra, one of the nation's premiere chamber ensembles, has rapidly become well known for its exceptional performances and diverse repertoire. Founded in 1992, and comprised of twenty-one members of the world-renowned National Symphony Orchestra, the membership also represents a convergence of members from Washington's great chamber ensembles, including the American Chamber players, the Capitol Woodwind Quintet, the National Musical Arts Society, and the Chamber Soloists of Washington. Its members have been featured as soloists in all of the finest recital series, including the Corcoran, the Phillips Collection, the Dumbarton Concert Series, the Terrace Theater and the Library of Congress and also as concert soloists with the National Symphony and orchestras throughout the country.
