Carmen

Richard Eyre's striking production of Bizet's tuneful drama returns to the Met, with Georgian mezzo Anita Rachvelishvili in the title role. Ekaterina Scherbachenko and Nikolai Schukoff debut as Micaëla and Don José, Teddy Tahu Rhodes plays Escamillo, and Michele Mariotti conducts. (Andrew Richards is Don José on Feb 26 and Mar 1; Hei-Kyung Hong plays Micaëla on Feb 26.)
