Only 2 chances remain to experience Edmonton Opera's new production of Carmen at the Jube

There are still a limited number of seats available for the two final performances of Carmen at the Jubilee Auditorium. Don't miss French mezzo-soprano Geraldine Chauvet's refreshing interpretation of the iconic title role.

"Chauvet’s sumptuous lyric vocalism is reminiscent of the great Rise Stevens. Her performance of the Gypsy Song, “Les tringles des sistres tintaient ,” was especially impressive, both for her singing and for her wonderful dancing and her rendition of “Habanera” was delivered with great emotion." —DC Metro Theatre Arts, Oct. 2015

The Wanderer Review: Not your Grandparent's Opera by Keaton Peterson

"Rest assured, the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Peter Dala, is on point as usual and delivers all the melodic highs and lows of a performance that broke new ground in the French opera scene when it premiered in 1875."

"This is not your grandparents’ opera: Carmen thrust us into a world of sex, murder, gypsies, immoral behavior, and the seedy lives of the proletariat."
