ResumoThe Castillo Theatre's theatrical engagement with Georges Bizet's opera Carmen involves five productions of three different Carmen-based scripts over the ten years between 1987 and 1997. All of these productions were adaptations of, or, perhaps more accurately, responses to and dialogues with, Bizet's Carmen. Taken together, they constitute a deconstruction/reconstruction not only of Carmen but of theatrical conventions and ideological assumptions about nineteenth-century opera.
