Now that the opera performances are only about a week away, I figured it was time to let everyone know the dates for the performances. Celestra is super excited and is constantly singing in french! Everywhere! She says she will be easy to spot but just remember, she is playing a boy in the production. As she puts it, no silly dresses or dolls for her. It's swords all the way. She even gets to poke one of the 'guards' with her sword.
And just so you have it, here's a little synopses of the opera:
Carmen
by Georges Bizet
Director: Daniel Helfgot
Conductor: Barbara Day Turner
One unforgettable melody after another ignites Bizet's tingling drama of passion and jealousy under the hot Spanish sun. Carmen, a bewitching woman in love with love, sets up a deadly and passionate triangle between herself, a jealous corporal and a swaggering toreador. The tempest she creates as she plays one man against another ultimately leads to explosive tragedy. Fiery, intense, tender and bold - the world's most popular opera!
