Opera Columbus is kicking off their 2023-24 Season with the ultimate femme fatale, Carmen. Groundbreaking in realism, this show quickly became one of the most popular western operas of all time. Carmen contains famous arias, such as the flirty Habanera and the famous Toreador song, and will be performed in the heart of Downtown Columbus, the Southern Theatre. This 90-minute production explores sexual freedom, social hierarchies and the class system. Carmen will be stage directed by 2022-23 CRANE Directing Fellow, Sarah Dahnke, and conducted by Dr. Everett McCorvey.
