About the event
Carmen
Music by Georges Bizet
Libretto by Ludovic Halévy and Henri Meilhac
Sung in French with projected English translations
CARMEN IS FIRE.
The fiercely independent Carmen lives—and loves—on her own terms. When she sets her sights on Don José, a straitlaced soldier with a sweetheart back home, he quickly unravels, abandoning everything for her. But Carmen’s heart doesn’t stay in one place for long, and when the charismatic toreador Escamillo enters the ring, jealousy turns deadly. Set to Bizet’s iconic, rhythm-driven score, Carmen is a story of desire, freedom, and fatal choices.
Featuring the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and Cincinnati Opera Chorus.
