LA Opera "Carmen"

San Diego
Synopsis:

Premiere of a brand-new production bringing Spanish Gothic style to the stage. Choreography by Antonio Najarro, returning after last season's stunning flamenco-infused Ainadamar. Domingo Hindoyan's first appearance in his new role as Music Director. Carmen is desirable, defiant, and driven. She thinks nothing of charming a soldier to escape a spot of trouble—never imagining that he would abandon his childhood sweetheart and desert his post to follow her. But Don José is a jealous lover, and as Carmen begins a new relationship with the bullfighter Escamillo, his passion turns dark—and deadly. Bizet's masterpiece arrives onstage in a brand-new production drenched in Spanish Gothic splendor, created by director/designer Thaddeus Strassberger. Domingo Hindoyan opens his inaugural season as Music Director with one of the world's most iconic scores. Composed by Georges Bizet
