"Carmen": The Passionate Icon Returns to the Teatro Colón

[MilHojas]

"Carmen": la cigarrera empoderada regresa al Teatro Colón | Desde este viernes, con la puesta de Calixto Bieito

En esta versión de la célebre ópera de Georges Bizet se revitaliza a la heroína, cambiando la dimensión temporal original –traslada la acción a los años ‘70 del siglo XX– sin desenfocar el fondo temático.

I just bought my tickets online for the other operas this season... will be back in September, woo hoo.
(the other operas aren't as 'popular' as Carmen, but you can get seats up in the nosebleed for around $10 USD, and I've never been to an opera there that wasn't awesome)

This new version is staged in the mid 70´s XX century , different ?

There is nothing like seeing live opera from the main floor or box seats. I worked for the Lyric Opera of Chicago as secretary to the assistant manager in 1969 and was fortunate to see dress rehearsals and opening night performances during two seasons.

I prefer seeing all the action up close on the computer screen rather than from the upper balcony in Teatro Colon. I doubt there is another city in the world that live streams so many great performances as we have in BA.

Same music but directors sometimes change the settings / time period to be creative.
