   Is Carmen a good story?

   • There simply isn’t a dud bar of music in the entire opera. It’s hard to say how feminist an opera can really be when its heroine is brutally murdered at the finale. But it’s clear why both singers and directors might be drawn to cast Carmen in a light of female empowerment.
