What is hidden in the love of Carmen the Gypsy? Freedom and happiness or humiliation and death? Is it possible for that feeling to be born among blood, stench and dregs of public who lives at the backyard of a modern city? The problems raised in the performance are far away from exotic of theatrical Spain.

In dead of night the smugglers strike out a deal. Carmen and Jose are with them. The quarrel is not forgotten: there’s the great difference between lovers. Jose suffers from infidelity to duty. Only Carmen’s love keeps him in the smugglers camp. But she does not love him anymore: their break is unavoidable. What the cards will tell her. They predicted happiness to her mates. Only for Carmen the destiny does not promise joy: she read her death sentence in cards. Escamillo comes to date with Carmen. She stops the duel between him and Jose. This moment Jose notices Micaella, who despite the fear came to the smugglers camp to take Jose back home. Jose does not listen to her words. Only the news about death of his mother forces him to leave Carmen. But their meeting is ahead.

It is a bright sunny day. Carmen waits for Escamillo. This moment worn out Jose appears in ragged clothes. He still loves her and is ready to forgive everything if she returns to him. But Carmen rejects his entreaties and having lost patience tears down the ring given to her by Joseas a sign of love. "Born free will die free". Her death is unavoidable.
