Il tenore della superstar José Carreras è Don José, il soldato di una piccola città che attira l'attenzione di Carmen e viene distrutto dalla sua crescente ossessione per lei. Samuel Ramey è il matador carismatico Escamillo, che attira Carmen lontano da Don José con tragico risultato. Leona Mitchell è Micaëla, la ragazza semplice della città natale di Don José che non può salvarlo. 21 marzo 1987 Matinee Broadcast.
