CARMEN

Opera Australia

Dear Carmen patron

Due to the current travel restrictions from New South Wales, our colleagues at Opera Australia have made the difficult decision to cancel the Tasmanian leg of the Carmen tour, including the Launceston date this Monday 28 June.

Needless to say, all at Theatre North are saddened that our audiences will not have the chance to see this production. We send our best wishes to Opera Australia and are sure that they’ll be back at the Princess again when circumstances allow.

We also say a huge thank you to Denise Sam and the wonderful young singers at Vox Harmony, who were to take part in the production as the Children’s Chorus.

Please keep an eye on the Theatre North website to keep up-to-date on the current status of all shows at the Princess Theatre and Earl Arts Centre.

Thank you for your understanding and we look forward to seeing you at the theatre again soon.

Carmen is the femme fatale you can’t forget.

In Bizet’s famous opera, she sings her sensual Habanera and lures Don José into her world. He gives up everything to follow her. But Carmen’s wandering eye has already found a new lover: the dashing bullfighter Escamillo.

Don José’s jealousy is fierce. Escamillo’s passion is strong. In a gripping finale, Carmen must face her fate.

Experience the thrilling Spanish colour and rhythms of Bizet’s vibrant score with Opera Australia’s singers, live chamber orchestra and a children’s chorus drawn from the local community. This new production includes gorgeous sets and vintage-inspired costumes. You can hear classics such as the Habanera and the Toreador Song just as Bizet meant them — loud, live and completely unamplified.
