"THIS MIRACULOUS PRODUCTION IS AS GOOD TO LISTEN TO AS IT IS TO LOOK AT SUNDAY EXPRESS

Staged in the centre of Earls Court London, in June 1989, surrounded on all sides by the audience to create the atmosphere of a Spanish bullring, Bizet's emotionally powerful score combines magically with the talents of international opera director Steven Pimlott, the brilliant stage design by Stefanos Lazaridis and spectacular lighting by David Hersey. Added to this, a cast and chorus of hundreds, internationally renowned soloists and as well as toreadors, Spanish Flamenco dancers and horses created a truly spectacular and memorable event.

"Stunning to watch" The Guardian
"Set the spine tingling...there hasn't been an arena open-air production to touch it" Spectator
