Carmen
|
The music, the passion, the brutality. It's a red-hot opera spectacle!
The seductive and tempestuous gypsy, Carmen, captures the heart of a young soldier. He sacrifices everything to be with her. Now a fugitive on the run, his life is in ruins. Unfortunately, she is drawn to the dashing matador, Escamillo, and casts Don José aside, which seals her fate. In his passionate confrontation with Carmen outside the bullring, Don José's pleas for her to take him back are met with cold rejection...and the tragic murder that concludes the opera devastates audiences as much today as it did in 1875 when Carmen first premiered.
“The principal reason to see this Carmen, is Kendall Gladen in the title role...(She is) a statuesque beauty, and her voice is a marvel—large, lustrous, rich-toned and pliant, with wonderfully burnished low notes and a pure, effortless-sounding top.” - Oakland Review
“Cuban American Elaine Alvarez has an imposing dusky soprano...speaks from the soul.”
