Tacoma Opera: Georges Bizet's 'Carmen'
$37.50-$100.50 ($46.50-$57.30 Tacoma Opera 40; Tacoma Opera 100 free)
Tacoma Opera opens its gripping 2023-24 season with a bold production of Georges Bizet's Carmen. Delve into the dark depths of desire with this provocative portrayal of passion and the strength of the human spirit.
In this unflinching take on the consequences of unbridled passion, the fiercely independent Carmen finds herself ensnared in Don Josè's web of obsession, which ultimately seals her tragic fate. The powerful score, featuring such unforgettable arias as "Habanera" and the Toreador's Song, captures the story's emotional turbulence while simultaneously celebrating the heroine's resilience and strength.
Don't miss this unforgettable evening of opera at the Pantages Theatre in downtown Tacoma that fearlessly confronts all-consuming love and power struggles of race, social class, and gender.
Sung in French with English supertitles. Doors open one hour in advance.
Carmen will be presented twice: Friday, October 6 at 7pm; and Sunday, October 8 at 2pm.
