Carmen is no stranger to The Threepenny Bar. In this watering hole at the crossroads of nowhere, everyone has a story.

The Atlanta Opera’s all-new version of this beloved classic explores a modern Carmen. Set at the fringes of society, Bizet’s music is intertwined with the dramatic stomps and flourishes of flamenco.

The Threepenny Carmen walks a thin line between lust and death in one of opera’s most iconic love triangles.

Starring Megan Marino as Carmen, Michael Mayes as Escamillo, Richard Trey Smagur as Don Jose, and Tom Key as seedy bar owner Lilas Pastia. This production features flamenco superstar Sonia Olla.

The Threepenny Carmen is not simply a stripped down version of the original opera, it digs into what Bizet’s 1875 classic might mean for audiences today. Capturing its essence as an exploration of sexual freedom, social hierarchies and the class system.

Directed by Tomer Zvulun, The Atlanta Opera General & Artistic Directior, this world premiere production updates the action to a Spanish-themed dive bar, where Carmen works as a cabaret singer. Designed by ArtsImpulse Theatre Award-winner Julia Noulin-Mérat and Joanna Schmink respectively, the sets and costumes draw inspiration from the films of Pedro Almodóvar, using bold primary colors and a larger-than-life aesthetic to reflect the bar owner’s crudely reductive approach to the cultures he exploits.

Bright colors, costumes, and Flamenco are featured, and the production marks the Atlanta Opera debut of Flamenco dance legend Sonia Olla, “a furnace of earthy sensuality” (New York Times) whose extensive choreography credits include Madonna’s 2015-16 world tour.
