Bizet's Carmen Nixxed by Western Australian Opera because she smokes….

As the Western Australian 
Opera was planning to produce 
Bizet's Carmen, it decided 
that it needed to be in line 
with a governmental agency, 
Healthway, who provides 
generous funding to the 
company. Hence the chain- 
tobacco obsessed Carmen 
will not be smoking on an 
Australian stage anytime soon…
