‘Carmen 1808’
Union Theatre, London
CARMEN 1808 flourishes onto the stage at the Union Theatre in Phil Willmott’s new musical theatre adaptation. This original musical will adapt the plot, score and characters of Bizet’s opera Carmen to tell a new love story set amidst events in Francesco Goya’s paintings of the Dos de Mayo Uprising in 1808.
‘Justin Williams and Jonny Rust’s set superbly constructed – once seen it’s hard to imagine the musical or indeed the opera existing in front of any other backdrop.’ ★★★★ Reviews Hub
London Theatre1: ★★★★★: ‘The lighting and multi-levelled stage, designed by Justin Willians, Jonny Rust and Ben Jacobs, was very powerful.’
