About

Carmen, indeed, but revised, corrected and tightened up. It is neither quite the same nor totally different. Or so it would seem. In 1980, Peter Brook and Jean-Paul Carrière explored the novella in depth in order to reprise the opera more effectively. Marius Constant reduced and reorganised a score without choruses or secondary characters which neither opened nor closed like the masterpiece familiar to all. With a performance time of just ninety minutes, the “new look” tragedy is obviously reduced to the basics in “an off-beat première which does not diminish either Mérimée or Bizet,” wrote Jacques Lonchampt enthusiastically in Le Monde. Doubtless the virtuosity of seasoned cigar-maker Julie Robart-Gendre, will lead these gentlemen, and primarily Sébastien Droy’s Don José, a merry dance.
