The Royal Ballet & Opera’s thrilling revival of Carmen delivers a white-hot drama of fatal obsession.

But when Carmen’s affections shift to the glamorous toreador Escamillo, Don José’s toxic jealousy erupts into a violent, tragic confrontation.
Starring Josh O'Connor, this gripping production of Golden Boy offers a rare, high-stakes look at fame and sacrifice, captured beautifully by The National Theatre for the big screen.
