VIVA EUROPA 2010 JUNE 18TH is a European cultural event integrated within the 2010 European Year for Combating Poverty and Social Exclusion. It is also included in the 25th anniversary of the European Capitals of Culture celebrations.

The event consists in the simultaneous projection on big screens of George Bizet’s opera "Carmen" in all the cities wishing to join in. It is for the citizens to enjoy free of charge. The opera will be performed at the same time in the Palau de les Arts Reina Sofía in Valencia, Spain.

The aim of this important cultural initiative is to promote the European sense of coexistence through a relevant cultural form of expression with a profound European tradition such as opera, shared in real time with its citizens.

Carmen is a character born from European literature and music that has become a myth in universal culture. Bizet’s opera transmits all these emotions.
