French opera film Carmen will be staged in Beijing next week, directed by Tiziano Mancini.

Based on the novel of the same name by Prosper Mérimée, opera Carmen was the last work of famous French composer Georges Bizet, telling life stories of the working class and the ordinary people. It's also one of the most popular operas to date in the world.

The opera describes the eternal confrontation between men and women, shows the ruthlessness but beauty of life, and proves the perpetual co-existence between love and death.
