The final tickets are now on sale for an upcoming performance of a much-loved opera.

Dnipro Opera will return to the Wyvern Theatre in Swindon on February 17 with a performance of Georges Bizet’s classic opera, Carmen.

The Ukrainian opera company will present the full production in French, accompanied by a live orchestra of more than 30 musicians, with English surtitles for the audience.

Amande Concerts, which is producing the show, said: "We are honoured to welcome Dnipro Opera back to Swindon for this tour in what has been a particularly challenging time for our artists.

"Despite numerous obstacles, their passion and resilience have shone through, and the company is more dedicated than ever to delivering this remarkable production.

"We are excited to bring this stunning opera to venues across the UK, and we hope to see you there."

Set in 19th-century Seville, Carmen tells a gripping story of love, jealousy, and betrayal.

Dnipro Opera’s production promises to bring new life to the well-loved opera, with vibrant staging, detailed costumes, and powerful performances.

Based in the UK, Amande Concerts Ltd is a leading producer of high-quality classical performances, committed to bringing world-class opera and ballet productions to British theatres.

Their productions include classics like Swan Lake, The Nutcracker, La Traviata, Madama Butterfly, and Rigoletto.

Opera Magazine said: "Hats off for refreshing the parts that other companies don’t reach."

The Stage described the company as "a boon to opera in regional theatres".
