Opera Australia has been touring regional and remote Australia since 1996, bringing great opera to Australians, regardless of where they live. Engagement and accessibility - geographic, artistic and financial – are central tenets, as is the development of new audiences.

Caught between her desire for love and a longing for freedom, Carmen faces an impossible choice. She’s enigmatic and elusive: a femme fatale you can’t forget. Captivating Don José with her sensual Habanera, he abandons everything to pursue her. But Carmen won’t be owned and finds herself a new lover: the dashing bullfighter Escamillo. Don José’s jealousy is untameable and in a gripping finale, Carmen is destined to fight for her life.
