Carmen
US:
June 19, 2013, 7 pm (local time)
Richard Eyre’s hit production stars Elīna Garanča as the
seductive gypsy of the title, opposite Roberto Alagna as the obsessed Don
José. Carmen "is
about sex, violence, and racism—and its corollary: freedom," the director
says about Bizet’s drama. "It is one of the inalienably great works of
art. It's sexy, in every sense. And I think it should be shocking."
Conductor: Yannick
Nézet-Séguin; Production: Richard Eyre; Barbara Frittoli, Elīna Garanča,
Roberto Alagna, Teddy Tahu Rhodes

This mythical story of a sorceress who enthralls men in her
island prison has inspired operatic settings by a multitude of composers,
including Gluck, Haydn, and Dvořák. Renée Fleming stars in the title role of
Rossini’s version, opposite no fewer than five tenors. Director Mary Zimmerman
describes the work as “a buried treasure, a box of jewels.” Armida is a fanciful and magical tale with “an
epic, enchanted quality and a tremendous visual element.”

who eventually wins her love and whose solos include the famous “Nessun dorma.”
