Where is Carmen? Who is Carmen?
What is an Opera without voice?
What instrument reflects the tragic plight of Carmen, the violent jealousy of Don Jose?
What instrument can be equated to the turbulent Escamillo?
How will the different musical sections fight the jealousy theme, and how can death find its fatal note?
And furthermore how can such music of fate, jealousy, and death integrate its meaning with Maltese Għana?

Carmen is the arena of death and the musical instruments must fight till death.
