Glyndebourne Festival Opera makes its traditional visit to the Proms with that most red-blooded of red-blooded operas, Carmen.

Bizet’s musical tale of a Gypsy factory-worker who seduces a military corporal before discarding him for the more glamorous toreador has all the ingredients of a tightly sprung operatic drama. Anja Bihlmaier conducts Glyndebourne’s fine cast and chorus, along with the London Philharmonic Orchestra.

There will be one interval.

Broadcast live on BBC Radio 3

General booking opens at 9.00am on Saturday 18 May.
