Programme
Carmen is much more than just an opera; it is the musical narration of the liberation of a woman who chooses to follow only her own desires. It will attract and bewilder all who interact with it, rekindling a romantic paradigm that revels in the impossible and ill-fated idea of possessing another.
The selected passages from Georges Bizet’s opera, including iconic works like “L’amour est un oiseau rebelle…”, will be performed by soprano Mira Alkhovik, mezzo-soprano Silvia Tro Santafé, bass-baritone Marko Mimica, and tenor Marcelo Puente.
It is a performance that illustrates the universal nature of music —through its deeply emotional language— and will be preceded by three dances by Enric Granados: Oriental, Andaluza and Rondalla aragonesa. Originally composed for piano in 1890, they were later arranged for orchestra by Joan Lamote de Grignon.
