The Atlanta Opera’s Carmen


November 15, 11 am Grades 6-12; $10


The Atlanta Opera is pleased to offer a special abbreviated version of George Bizet’s classic, Carmen, for students. Set in sultry Spain, the opera traces Don José’s ill-fated attraction to the alluring gypsy, Carmen. When Carmen casts off her ardent lover for the handsome toreador, Escamillo, José’s intense jealousy turns to vengeance and dooms the fiery romance to a tragic end. Students will enjoy some of opera’s most famous music in this abridged version of the work, including the theme from the familiar “Toreador’s song.” Performed in French with English supertitles. Running Time: 70 minutes; taken from the full production and performed with full chorus, sets, costumes and lighting, and accompanied by The Atlanta Opera Orchestra. Accompanying Opera Guide corresponds directly with Common Core Georgia Performance Standards.
