Mezzo-soprano and vs上 graduate student Kimberly Milton will perform the title role in vs上 Opera’s production of “Carmen.” |
VALDOSTA — 美高梅博彩 Opera will present a concert version of “Carmen” at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 19, and 3 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 20, on the Whitehead Auditorium stage. 现在正在售票。
The performances will feature highlights from George Bizet’s “Carmen,” the iconic opera that premiered in Paris in 1875.
“‘Carmen’ is about a gypsy woman in Spain who is very seductive and lawless,” said Dr. Tamara Hardesty, director of opera at vs上. “She flirts with soldier Don José, who falls madly in love with her and forgets his naive childhood sweetheart Micaela. José abandons his military duties to join Carmen's gypsy life, but she then rejects him for the fiery bullfighter Escamillo. At the end of the story, José stabs Carmen to death in a jealous rage.
“Unlike many of the operas that vs上 presents, this year we get a true operatic tragedy that tells the story of an ill-fated love that ends in murder. Audience members may recognize Carmen's famous aria ‘L'amour est un oiseau rebelle,’ in which she explains that her heart is a wild bird that can never be captured, as well as the Toreador (bullfighter) song that features Escamillo and the chorus.”
“Carmen” features libretto by Henri Meilhac and Ludovic Halévy and is based on a novella of the same name by Prosper Mérimée.
演出将有vs上歌剧院的学生演员和专业演员，由音乐教授Kenneth Kirk博士指挥的管弦乐队伴奏。 表演者将用法语演唱，并为观众播放翻译。
票 for “Carmen” are $25 for adults, $20 for vs上 faculty and staff and members of the military, $5 for children and non-vs上 students, and free for current vs上 students with a valid 1Card.
Whitehead Auditorium is located on the first floor of vs上’s Fine Arts Building, at the intersection of Brookwood Drive and Oak Street.
A special Opera for Youth performance of “Carmen” is scheduled for 10 a.m. on Friday, Jan. 18. 免费入场。
