The result is a journey to the very heart of Carmen. Familiar opera arias burn brightly, yet the result is a classic pulsating in a totally new form, in which the love story is told by three opera singers, a cantaora and a flamenco dancer. At its side stands a full symphony orchestra, as Carmen demands -- and, in an audacious twist, the acclaimed Oulu-based male choir Huutajat! Where Bizet's Carmen is a romantic opera of doomed destiny and jealous obsession, Galván's Carmen becomes a contemporary ritual. The tale is dismantled, inverted and rebuilt through dance, cry and a multi-layered soundscape. Having reinterpreted classics such as Igor Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring, Galván approaches these masterpieces in his own style: intimate, provocative, veiled by humour, but never diminished. "Everything is veiled in musical exaggeration and fantasy. The performance ends in love -- not the knife," he sums up. Oulu is the European Capital of Culture in 2026. Carmen is part of the Oulu2026 cultural programme and the cultural climate change initiative. *** Duration about1 h 20 min (no intermission) Tickets 58 € normal / 48 € pensioner / 38 € student, unemployed, child (3--17 yrs) Free entry to the concert for Kaikukortti holders (limited amount, must be purchased in advance from Oulu10 service point).
