Carmen

Tacoma Opera opens its gripping 2023-24 season with a bold production of Georges Bizet's Carmen. Delve into the dark depths of desire with this provocative portrayal of passion and the strength of the human spirit.

In this unflinching take on the consequences of unbridled passion, the fiercely independent Carmen finds herself ensnared in Don Josè's web of obsession, which ultimately seals her tragic fate. The powerful score, featuring such unforgettable arias as Habanera and the Toreador's Song, captures the story's emotional turbulence while simultaneously celebrating the heroine's resilience and strength.

Don't miss this unforgettable evening that fearlessly confronts all-consuming love and power struggles of race, social class, and gender.
