Since its premiere 150 years ago, in 1875, to an incredulous and scandalized audience, Bizet’s opera Carmen has since become one of the most popular and performed operas in the world. Set it Spain, the opera involves a love triangle between Don José, a soldier who has left his paramour to chase the beguiling Carmen: a seductive gypsy who is herself interested in another man, Escamillo.
Filled with passion, love, murder, and some of the most recognizable opera tunes ever written—including the Seguidilla, the Habanera, and the Toreador song—this production of Carmen brings the centuries-old European tradition of presenting outdoor performances during the summer months to the Richmond Green Park Amphitheater, a jewel of York region that offers an incomparable organic acoustical environment for this stellar cast under the direction of Maestro Kristian Alexander.
