Carmen is coming to the Rialto on Saturday, Nov. 1, at 10 a.m.

Richard Eyre’s mesmerizing production of Bizet’s steamy melodrama features mezzo-soprano Anita Rachvelishvili singing her signature role of the ill-fated gypsy temptress.

Aleksandrs Antonenko plays her desperate lover, the soldier Don José, and Ildar Abdrazakov is the swaggering bullfighter, Escamillo, who comes between them. Pablo Heras-Casado conducts the irresistible score, which features one beloved and instantly recognizable melody after another.

Tickets are on sale at the Rialto.

Adults and youth $24.95; children and seniors $20.95 (including taxes).
