The colorful, passionate
score, Gypsy rhythms, and fiery drama of Bizet’s Carmen never
fail to capture the imagination of audiences of all generations.
Perhaps the most popular story in all of opera, it tells
the tale of the tempestuous gypsy Carmen and her tormented
lover, Don José. Let our innovative new production
of this classic opera transport you from Chicago to Seville!
Barbara Landis returns in her
critically acclaimed signature role as Carmen. Don’t
miss this Spanish extravaganza of music and dance featuring
film excerpts of Spanish dancers Pascual Olivera and Angela
Del Moral, images of Spain, and much more!
Critics have said:
“Barbara possesses a rich mezzo voice
and her dark expressive eyes helped to propel the drama…” – Chicago
Sun Times
“Ms. Landis as Carmen wasn't afraid
to play the role with the seductiveness and even raunchiness
it requires. She was outstanding...” - Wheaton
