Habanera Ramona Zaharia Carmen National Opera Iasi Romania
The romanian mezzosoprano Ramona Zaharia performing Habanera from Bizet's Carmen at the National Opera Iasi

“Love is a rebellious bird that no one can tame. Whoever tries to capture it is wasting their time.” These words were written by the composer Georges Bizet for one of the most famous protagonists in the world of opera – the gypsy-woman Carmen, a worker in a cigarette factory in Seville, who likes to uses her charms to seduce men, but her game ends in death; the betrayed Don José stabs the seductress to death in a rage. The story, which is set in Andalusia and embellished by the composer’s melodious songs and the appealing rhythms of the regional dances, presents the audience with heroes from the everyday world, with which they can identify both emotionally and rationally. The opera ensemble of the Slovene National Theatre Maribor will be joined in the title role by one of the most promising young Argentine singers, Guadalupe Barrientos, who has already sung on Slovenian opera stages. The performance’s overall concept of will be guided by the Andalusian opera director Juan Guillermo Nova, who is the author of many opera sets and known for “expertly made and skilfully utilised projections, which blend perfectly with the physical contours of the stage”. The orchestra will be led by maestro Simon Krečič.
