Following the great success of Jane Eyre in 2010, the BGT is pleased to return to Mersch with Opera Comique, a hilarious comedy set at the premiere of Bizet’s “Carmen” in 1875. A group of wealthy Parisians is visiting the Opera… but not for the show. Monsieur and Madame Corniche want their daughter, Viviane, to marry Hector Vigneron. But Viviane is in love with Hector’s father… who is having an affair with her mother. Meanwhile “La Tartine” is trying to seduce the great composer Gounod.

And amid all this, Bizet is in despair at the poor reception of his new work.

“Carmen” may be a tale of passion, sex and betrayal… but it’s nothing compared to what is happening in the audience!
