Bizet's Carmen comes to Teatro Micaelense in Ponta Delgada on Saturday 28 November at 21:30, billed as a Teatro Nacional de São Carlos production. The opera, drawn from Prosper Mérimée's novella and first staged in Paris, tells of a woman who chooses death over giving up her freedom and her love, and it remains one of the most performed operas anywhere. You need to collect a ticket in advance. For anyone on São Miguel that weekend it is the most substantial night out on the island's calendar, and one of the few evenings where not speaking Portuguese costs you nothing.
Teatro Micaelense is in the centre of Ponta Delgada on São Miguel, a short walk from the marina and most city hotels; no car needed.
