Carmen - the world's most performed opera - is set to be staged again by the Kuala Lumpur City Opera, and will feature a double cast for the leading roles of Carmen, Don José, Escamillo, and Micäela. Perhaps French composer Georges Bizet's best known work, Carmen expressively features depictions of love, obsession and jealousy, and has become a fixture in opera houses' repertoire worldwide. We find out what's in store from this particular staging of the beloved opera from cast member Yap Jin Hin, who plays the role of Don Jose, and Mak Chi Hoe, who plays the role of Escamillo, and who is also the chorus master of the KL City Opera.
