Dallas Opera Presents CARMEN; Reschedules Simulcast
The Dallas Opera is proud to present the second production of the 2018-2019 "Swept Away" Season: Georges Bizet's colorful, sensual and passionate 19th century masterpiece, Carmen, one of the most beloved and popular works in the entire opera canon. Carmen opens at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, October 19, 2018 in the Margot and Bill Winspear Opera House at the AT&T Performing Arts Center in the Dallas Arts District.
The Opening Night Performance of Carmen was scheduled to be simulcast to patrons in nearby Klyde Warren Park. Due to the probability of more unseasonably wet weather, the Carmen simulcast has been rescheduled to take place on Friday, November 2, 2018 (curtain time: 7:30 p.m.) in the same outdoor location.
This Gothenburg Opera production from Sweden was originally created by Sir David McVicar for Glyndebourne Opera in the U.K.- it has never before been seen in the U.S.
Carmen will be conducted by The Mrs. Eugene McDermott Music Director Emmanuel Villaume, inaugurating his sixth season with The Dallas Opera this fall-and by guest conductor Pierre Vallet on October 24th and November 2nd.
George Bizet's 1875 masterpiece will be directed by Jack Furness in his American Opera debut.
Subsequent performances of CARMEN will take place on October 21(m), 24, 27, November 2 and 4(m), 2018, with generous support from Mr. and Mrs. J. Davis Hamlin, Betty and Steve Suellentrop, and Texas Instruments Foundation, and with special thanks to the estate of Eleanor P. Stevens.
