Carmen

Sultry. Bold. Daring.

Bizet’s sizzling epic of dark passion, Carmen, tells the story of a fierce woman who lives life on her own terms – and the men who can’t let her go. Don José, a soldier drawn into her orbit, abandons everything for Carmen’s love, only to find himself consumed by jealousy when her attentions shift to the dashing bullfighter, Escamillo. With its twisting tale of romance, deceit, and disaster set to magnetic melodies, Bizet’s masterpiece, Carmen, has become one of the world’s most popular operas. Featuring some of the most popular music to ever grace the opera stage, Carmen brings every aspect of Bizet’s thrilling tale to life, from its tantalizing beginning to its devastating climax. Under the baton of Adam Turner (Toledo Opera’s Il Trovatore, and Roméo & Juliet), Toledo Opera’s vibrant original production is not to be missed.

Starring Lisa Marie Rogali (Company Debut) as Carmen, Brendan Boyle (Tosca and Ragtime) as Don José, and Joshua Jeremiah (Ragtime) as Escamillo.
