All’Opera: Don Carlo

Certificate
12A
Running Time
220 mins

It’s 16th century Spain and Don Carlos is full of joy because he’s been promised hottie Elisabeth of Valois’s hand in marriage as part of a peace treaty. Alas, politicking means that she must instead wed Don’s crusty old goat of a dad, King Philip II, instead. What’s a guy to do? Why warble inconsolably, that’s what.
