Over the years, I've seen many productions of Carmen. This is one of my favorites. Not only were the singers wonderful and the stage setting impressive, but Carmen was performed as Carmen should be, lusty, flirtatious, and passionate. Don Jose also carried his role of infatuated, obsessed, want to be lover very well. After a few disappointing opera productions at the Music Center, I am again a fan.
Thank you, Goldstar for wonderful seats, orchestra row J on the side, was excellent. Note for anyone going, parking during the weekday at the Music Center can be hard to get, so get there early unless you want to park at the Disney Hall. It was still ok.

It was fabulous. We were like 10 rows down from the stage. Great deal for the price. The set design and costumes were beautiful. The performances were magnificent. I loved it!

The seats were third row, just left of center. These were easily the best seats I have ever gotten, ever.

The show was spectacular. Great costumes, set design and the singing transported us. I really can't say enough good things about this experience. Thank you.

Description

Bizet's sizzling opera springs to vivid life in this production that originated at Madrid's Teatro Real. French conductor Emmanuel Villaume, Spoleto Festival USA’s Music Director for Opera and Orchestra, returns to lead a magnificent production originally created by Emilio Sagi for the Teatro Real.

Spanish mezzo-soprano Nancy Fabiola Herrera makes her Company debut as Carmen, a signature role she has sung recently at Covent Garden and at The Met. Tenor German Villar takes the part of the obsessive and self-destructive Don José. Sabina Cvilak makes her Company debut as Micaëla. Acclaimed bass Raymond Aceto takes the role of Escamillo.
