Georges Bizet Carmen - Opera

From the venue:
Meet Carmen: she’s sexy, dangerous, and seriously bad news for any man who succumbs to her charms. Soldier Don José gives up everything to be with this freedom-loving temptress, only to have her dump him for a famous matador! Obsession turns fatal in this American premiere production—a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience Carmen just as Paris audiences did at the inaugural performance in 1875—featuring re-creations of the original sets, costumes, and staging! The Habanera, the Seguidilla, the Toreador Song, and more … our celebrated Maestro and TDO Orchestra bring you the world’s most popular opera!

Dazzling Marina Viotti, “who lives her characters with rare intensity” (OPERA.COM), is Carmen, and Albanian tenor-sensation Saimir Pirgu “is powerful, convincing, and ideally cast” as the lovesick Don José. (THE GUARDIAN)
Sung in French with projected English titles
Approximately 3 hours and 30 minutes, including one intermission.
