Welcome to your daily BBC Proms<\/a><\/strong> preview from BBC Music Magazine. It’s Thursday 29 August, and today’s Prom 52 features a performance of Georges Bizet<\/a><\/strong>‘s iconic opera Carmen<\/em>. <\/p> We recommend coming back to www.classical-music.com<\/a><\/strong> each day during the 2024 Proms (which last until Saturday 14 September), as we are running an in-depth preview of that evening’s Prom concert every day during the festival. Meanwhile, if you want to find all the 2024 Proms listings in one place, then you need our 2024 BBC Proms guide<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p> Here, you’ll find informative listings for all the 2024 Proms – both the 73 Proms taking place at the Royal Albert Hall<\/a><\/strong> in London, and the the other events around the country – chamber music<\/a><\/strong> concerts in Belfast, Newport and Aberdeen, and weekend festivals in Gateshead, Nottingham and Bristol. <\/p> Today’s concert, Prom 52<\/strong>, features a semi-staged performance of Bizet’s great opera Carmen<\/em><\/strong>, sung in French with English surtitles.<\/p> Bizet’s sultry, Spanish-set story is one of the best known operas in the canon. The \u2018Habanera\u2019 and the \u2018Toreador Song\u2019 from\u00a0Carmen\u00a0<\/em>have both transcended the opera to become much-loved and much-performed works in their own right, and the whole work is stuffed full of drama, passion and irresistible melodies.<\/p>What’s on at the BBC Proms today?<\/h2>
