You may think you know Carmen. Think again.Pensacola Opera presents the world premiere of Carmen: The Traveler, a newly adapted, abridged, and re-orchestrated version of Bizet’s monumental masterpiece. This new imagining of one of opera’s most well known characters features orchestrations by Joseph Brent (Broadway’s Oklahoma!, 2019) and stars mezzo-soprano Caitlin McKechney in the title role.
Carmen: The Traveler transports the action from its original 19th century setting to the pre-war tension of 1930s Seville. A versatile cast of singer-instrumentalists will perform their roles while accompanying themselves on instruments including guitars, mandolins, and accordions. This new format will make the experience even more immersive and captivating.
Audience members will be immersed in the Spanish atmosphere of Seville Quarter, while also enjoying a selection of Spanish tapas, wine pairings and other exciting surprises. Carmen is sure to capture your heart the same way she does all of the residents of Seville.
