Wed 10/13 @ 2PM
Watch opera direct from famous playhouses around the world from the comfort of the Cedar Lee. On Wed 10/13, see Georges Bizet’s Carmen, the ultimate opera archetype, performed at Spain’s Gran Teatre del Liceu.
About Carmen:
It relates the clash between a gypsy who passionately defends her personal sense of freedom and a Navarrese soldier with a possessive, traditionally male mentality. Their relationship unleashes a tragedy that extends far beyond the setting, preventing it from degenerating, as could so easily have happened, into the stereotypical Andalusia of bullfighters and castanets. This new production, directed by Calixto Bieito, is based on the one he created for the Peralada Festival.
