London Royal Albert Hall – Carmen – 2005

A large thick glossy souvenir programme for Carmen at the Royal Albert Hall, London, from 2005. The cast includes Victoria Simmonds, Aled Hall, Jeremy Carpenter and Kate Lanner.

Bizet’s much-loved opera tells of the free-spirited Carmen and the soldier Don José, whose jealous passion leads to tragedy outside the bullring in Seville.

Large-scale opera at the Albert Hall makes for a memorable evening, and this programme is a lovely piece of opera theatre memorabilia.
