ON October 21 the magnificent production of Carmen arrives at the Hackney Empire.
We have three pairs of tickets to giveaway along with other Carmen goodies.
With a large cast and the full Chisinau National Philharmonic Orchestra and chorus, this will be the premiere tour by Ellen Kent productions which has been produced, directed and co-ordinated by Ellen Kent herself creating a new company to tour Britain.
Carmen includes the special guest star - a donkey (see rules).
Ellen's mother ran the Spanish equivalent of the RSPCA which saved the lives of many donkeys and to continue this good work Ellen has included a donkey from a sanctuary to raise money for the sanctuary.
Bizet's masterpiece, Carmen, is a vividly colourful and passionate production.
Carmen is inspired by Ellen Kent's years in Andalucia as a teenager with a lot of the scenes based more on Malaga then Seville including a colourful group of gypsy dancers.
