Synopsis
A square in Sevilla, soldiers are whiling away the time in front of their guardhouse, with their captain Zuniga who is very well known among the ladies. In a change of guards, Don José is about to take Zuniga’s place. The women from the factory pour into the square, eagerly watched by the men. Carmen enters and immediately recognizes José as a newcomer who, on the other hand, shows no notice of her at first, but her affection is burned into his memory.
Micaela who is longing for Don Josè’s love is bringing a letter from his mother in which she expresses her wishes that Micaela becomes his wife.
Carmen is lazy to work her shift and an argument between her and Fernanda breaks out in the factory. Attracted by the noise, the crowd storms inside. Carmen has injured Fernanda, who accuses her to José and he escorts Carmen to custody.
Carmen seduces Don José and promising to spend the night with him, persuades him to let her go. Don José remains torn between desire and his sense of duty. Her best friend Mercedes helps her escape. When Zuniga finds out that José failed to fulfill his duty, he discharges him, and goes after Carmen.
Having escaped custody, Carmen and her friends are celebrating the arrival of the re- nowned torero Escamillo who is immediately attracted to Carmen, and vice versa. After spending a night with Escamillo, Zuniga finds Carmen alone. He attacks her and tries to rape her, but José comes to save her and shoots Zuniga.
Micaela visits José in prison bringing him the sad news that his mother has passed away. In his sadness he tells Micaela to marry another and sends her away. Daydream- ing his prison time away, José is imagining a perfect version of his Carmen.
A square in Seville outside the arena, shortly before the bullfight. Escamillo enters with his large entourage and Carmen at his side. Don José is out of prison and looking for her, hiding in the crowd. All enter the arena, Carmen remains behind with José.
She refuses to go back to him, she wants to keep her freedom and not be bound to obey anybody. José’s jealousy drives him crazy and he stabs Carmen as Escamillo‘s victory is being celebrated in the arena. He collapses over her body in despair.

Vai al calendario della Stagione 2017: Opere e balletti | Concerti
I grandi artisti internazionali, i 20 anni dalla riapertura del Teatro, i 70 di Sciarrino. Ecco la stagione 2017 del Teatro Massimo di Palermo.Nove opere, due progetti speciali, tre balletti, tredici concerti, la tournée in Giappone.
E a marzo del 2018 torna Zubin Mehta. I costi degli abbonamenti restano stabili, nasce la proposta “gold”, arriva la App.
Nove opere, tre balletti, due progetti speciali, tredici concerti, un’importante tournée in Giappone. Il Teatro Massimo di Palermo presenta la sua stagione 2017, una stagione che celebra i 120 anni dall’inaugurazione del Teatro, i venti anni della riapertura, i settanta anni di Salvatore Sciarrino e che vede protagonisti grandissimi nomi della scena internazionale.
“Si apre una stagione che per il Teatro Massimo sarà ricca di eventi e ricorrenze – dice Leoluca Orlando, sindaco e presidente della Fondazione Teatro Massimo – che inaugura di fatto le celebrazioni dei suoi 120 anni di vita e che avrà nella ricorrenza del ventennale della riapertura e negli ‘auguri di compleanno’ al maestro Salvatore Sciarrino i momenti più importanti. Ma tutta la stagione, caratterizzata ancora da grandi presenze e collaborazioni artistiche internazionali, vedrà un Teatro vivo e aperto alla città, sempre più motore culturale e cuore dello sviluppo della nostra comunità”.
“Abbiamo voluto presentare la stagione proprio adesso – aggiunge il sovrintendente Francesco Giambrone – per far coincidere quest’avvio con la ripresa dopo la paura estiva, una ripresa piena di iniziative, da Opera Camion alla tre giorni di piazza Massimo. La prossima sarà una stagione di ricorrenze festose per un teatro che sta bene. Basta dire che in questi dieci mesi del 2016, in termini di spettatori e di incassi, abbiamo raggiunto l’intero 2015. Un teatro che costa meno e che produce di più: nel 2017 avremo complessivamente 246 alzate di sipario contro le 236 di quest’anno, 113 sono quelle riferite alla stagione istituzionale che presentiamo adesso, a fronte delle 105 di quest’anno. Un rinnovato sforzo nel segno della qualità, che si muove su tre direttrici: la sempre maggiore presenza del direttore musicale, Gabriele Ferro, che con grande generosità sarà sempre più coinvolto nell’attività del teatro e darà il suo contributo di qualità ed eccellenza; il livello paritario di tutti i cast scritturati che ci fa venir voglia di invitare tutti a vedere lo spettacolo due volte; lo sforzo nell’invitare direttori d’orchestra importanti, e a questo proposito sono felice di annunciarvi che un grande amico del Teatro come Zubin Mehta ha accettato di tornare qui a Palermo a dirigere nel marzo del 2018”.
Programma
L'inaugurazione
La stagione si apre il 21 gennaio 2017 con il Macbeth di Verdi con la regia di Emma Dante e la direzione d’orchestra di Gabriele Ferro, un nuovo allestimento in coproduzione con il Teatro Regio di Torino.
Per la prima volta Emma Dante inaugura a Palermo con un titolo del grande repertorio.Info
