The Ukrainian National Opera will be presenting popular opera Carmen to Swindon audiences next Tuesday, at the Wyvern theatre.
Carmen will visit the Wyvern Theatre on Tuesday 4 April.
The opera will be sung in French with English Surtitles, and will start at 7.30pm.
Music will be performed by the Dnipro Opera, from Ukraine - a live Orchestra numbering over 30 musicians.
A spokesperson for the show said: "We are delighted to present to you this Opera theatre from the Ukraine. Dnipro Opera has a long-standing heritage of top-quality opera productions, that we are now looking forward to premier in the UK and present to you, the opera lovers.
"Carmen - feel the thrill of fiery passion, jealousy and violence of 19th century Seville Bizet’s most popular opera."
Carmen tells the story of the downfall of Don José, a soldier who falls in love with Carmen, a seductive, free-spirited femme fatale. Don José abandons his childhood sweetheart and neglects his military duties, only to lose Carmen to the glamorous toreador Escamillo.
The music of Carmen has been widely acclaimed for the brilliance of its melodies, enthralling atmosphere and orchestration, as well as for the skill with which Bizet musically represented the emotions and suffering of his characters.
The Toreador Song is considered among the best known of all operatic arias.
The show's spokesperson added: "The rich and colourful vigour of the gypsies’ scenes will have you on the edge of your seat, the vibrancy, enthusiasm and intensity of the performances will reverberate long after the final curtain has fallen."
