Nothing—not even love—can tame the delectable femme fatale of Seville, who springs to life onstage in an intoxicating whirl of thrilling choreography, vivid orchestrations and heart-stopping drama. Bizet’s dazzling score is an endless parade of one great melody after the other, from the languid allure of Carmen’s gypsy songs to the macho boasts of the dashing toreador. The vivid sights and sounds of colorful Spain come alive in a sumptuously authentic production that originated at Madrid’s Teatro Real. Emilio Sagi, who received critical kudos with last season’s Luisa Fernanda, directs this great masterpiece of the lyric theater, conducted by Emmanuel Villaume, Music Director of the Spoleto Festival USA. Mezzo-sopranos Viktoria Vizin and Nancy Fabiola Herrera make their Company debuts in the title role.
