Portland Opera presents Bizet's CARMEN
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
Seville, Spain: Carmen is a factory worker, free spirit, and the toast of the town. She is brave, beautiful, and independent. She does what she wants. She falls in and out of love. Then, her obsessed ex violently and tragically rejects her choice to move on.
With melodic gems like the Habanera and the Toreador Song, Carmen is a cultural touchstone. This grand, new production of Bizet’s iconic masterpiece was co-created by The Glimmerglass Festival and Minnesota Opera.
Sung in French with English captions. The performance on Sunday, Nov 13 will be audio described.
