It’s unclear what roles Elsa and Rossy will be playing in Carmen, but they’re expected to be filming scenes together in the coming weeks.
The duo will star alongside Normal People’s Paul Mescal, who stepped in to play the male lead, Aidan, after Fifty Shades of Grey star Jamie Dornan pulled out.
Melissa Barrera will play the titular role.
While the opera is set in Spain and tells the story of the downfall of Don José, who is seduced by Carmen, this adaptation will follow a Mexican woman’s search for freedom in Los Angeles.
Carmen is Benjamin Millepied’s feature directorial debut.

Benjamin, who is married to actress Natalie Portman, arrived in Australia to begin production on the film in November.
He previously shared his excitement over having Paul, Melissa and Rossy on board.
‘I feel so lucky to have actors as extraordinary as Melissa, Paul and Rossy with me on this film,’ he said in a statement.
‘Melissa is so intelligent and intuitive, both as an actor and as a mover. I know she will bring depths to Carmen I could not even imagine.
‘Paul has so much nuance and consideration in his work. I am thrilled to have them bring this romance to life.’
