Seduction—Obsession—Murder: Carmen Bizet

Bizet's Carmen has some of the most iconic melodies in all of opera including this one, Escamillo's "Toréador Song." You may be able to hum along with To-ré-ador, but who is Escamillo and what is it like to perform the role? Baritone Nmon Ford breaks down the famous aria just for you, plus make sure to watch to the end for a thrilling performance of the aria!

If you love this insider view of Bizet's Carmen, you will love seeing Opera Colorado's opulent production on stage May 7-21 at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House.

SEDUCTION—OBSESSION—MURDER: Carmen Bizet

We conclude Opera Colorado’s grandest season to date with Bizet’s smoldering drama, Carmen, filled with some of opera’s most iconic melodies—including Carmen’s “Habanera” and the rousing Toreador song. Not a soul can resist Carmen’s seductive charm, not even the naïve Don Jose. But when she leaves him for a charismatic bullfighter, Don Jose’s infatuation turns obsessive. What fate, or choice, waits for the woman no man can tame?
