This girl is trouble. Bad, beguiling, and dangerous to know, Carmen will never let herself be chained down by any one man. When she fixes on Don José as her next (but certainly not her last) lover, the naïve but volatile young soldier hasn't a chance. He follows her into a life of crime. Tragedy is inevitable, but what a ride along the way!
In CARMEN the romance of the French language is coupled with sizzling Spanish dance rhythms and erotically charged music to make this the sexiest opera of all.
CARMEN features Allyson McHardy in the title role with Eric Fennell as Don José. The production is directed by Dennis Garnhum with conductor Timothy Vernon and the Victoria Symphony.
