Carmen - See the trailer!

Bergen National Opera has made a film inspired by Carmen, and now the trailer is ready!

We have engaged the three international singers who were to appear in our main stage cancelled production (planned for spring 2021). They were filmed in their home locations in Ukraine, Spain and the UK, but most of the filming has been taking place in Oslo and Bergen. The journalist Mina is played by BNO's Artist-in-residence, soprano Beate Mordal.

The film is inspired by the opera by Bizet, the beautiful music and arias are the same, but the plot is new.
More info

Bizet's music for the opera has been specially arranged by Stephen Higgins. The script is by John Ramster and our film director is Anders Lindstad.

With Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra, Bergen Philharmonic Chorus and Edvard Grieg Kor.

The date of the premiere will be released shortly, read more at bno.no or follow us on facebook

The film is produced by Peiling Film & TV for Bergen National Opera

HANDLINGEN
Filmen om Carmen er inspirert av Bizets verdenskjente opera, men i vårt nye manus er hun forvandlet fra fabrikkarbeider til storslått kjendis i sosiale medier: Sanger, skuespiller og influenser på Instagram, beundret og fulgt av tusenvis av mennesker rundt om i verden.

Etter en vellykket konsert i Oslo for fem år siden ble hun forfulgt og brutalt myrdet av en fan, Joseph Navarro, som var sykelig opptatt av henne. Carmens nye, og veldig åpenlyse forhold til milliardæren Eskil Murov, brakte raseriet frem i Joseph, og etter mordet har ingen sett ham.

Mina, en dyktig norsk gravejournalist, bestemmer seg for å dykke ned i mysteriet for å finne ut hva som virkelig hendte den natten, og oppdager spor som leder til Josephs skjulested. De to begynner å få kontakt over nettet, og Mina blir dradd inn i drapsmannens mørke og farlige verden. Så dette er ikke den «normale» Carmen! Men så er dette heller ikke «normale» tider!»

Bizets musikk er arrangert av Stephen Higgins. Bergen Filharmoniske Orkester, Edvard Grieg Kor og Bergen Filharmoniske Kor medvirker også.

Premieredatoen annonseres snart, følg med på bno.no eller følg oss på facebook

Filmen er produsert av Peiling Film & TV for Bergen Nasjonale Opera
