Fri Nov 6
8 pm,
Carmen at Overture Center for the Arts - Overture Hall
Georges Bizet’s famous opera tells a cautionary tale: Loving a gypsy is generally a pretty dicey proposition. When a young Spanish soldier named Don Jose falls under the spell of the gypsy Carmen, it puts into motion an absolute shit-storm of events that rain down on his parade: He rejects his former love, joins a band of smugglers, gets dumped, and commits murder. Needless to say, love and lust aren’t in short supply in one the world’s most oft-performed operas. The Madison Opera will also be offering an Opera Up Close presentation on Nov. 1 at 12 p.m. to provide historical perspective and further explorations into the production. For a chance to win a pair of tickets to the Friday, Nov. 6 show, email rsvpmadison@avclub.com with "Carmen" in the subject line.
