Saturday, August 27th the Jarvis Conservatory will continue its Opera in HD Series and will be presenting Carmen in beautiful High Definition picture and Dolby Digital sound.
Bizet’s passionate tale of the self-willed gypsy woman Carmen is certainly one of the most popular works in the history of opera and this exciting production, which brings horses, pyrotechnical special effects and more than 400 participants onto the stage is one not to be missed. Melodies like Carmen’s legendary "Habanera" or Escamillo’s "Toreador March" are well known tunes all over the world.
The Opéra Comique in Paris commissioned George Bizet to write Carmen in 1872 and Bizet’s music portrays the characters with care and reveals itself to both the most novice and the most sophisticated listener.
