The Welsh National Opera will perform a season of revenge, temptation and suspense at Bristol Hippodrome, and the Times is offering readers a chance to win tickets to see the show.
The opera's new productions, the Verdi Trilogy, will bring passion, revenge and action to the venue, with Carmen, Les Vepres Siciliennes and The Marriage Of Figaro.
The first production will see Carmen, who the production is based around, perform the Cuban dance Habanera to composer Georges Bizet's Toreador Song, which promises drama and seduction.
To the sound of wedding bells, revenge and revolution set the scene for the second show, Les Vêpres Siciliennes.
Director David Pountney and the creative team behind productions La Forza Del Destino and Un Ballo In Maschera reunite to complete the opera's Verdi Trilogy.

Finally, the season closes with comic opera The Marriage Of Figaro.
The period-set production features Austrian composer Mozart's score to bring action to life throughout the performance.
