Carmen is irresistible from the first note to the electrifying prelude right to the end of the devastating finale. The immortal tale of the restless, free-spirited heroine and Don Jose, the soldier who's drawn to her in a truly "fatal attraction". Carmen has long been one of the world's favorite operas. It returns this season in the company's vividly colorful, powerfully dramatic production with dynamic Ryan Opera Center alumna J'Nai Bridges, who is now enjoying career internationally in the title role. Partnering with her is Charles Castronova, one of the world's most acclaimed tenors. You'll be drawn to the drama like moth to flame as this alluring opera brings you along to its edge-of-your-seat ending. Join us for a memorable performance of Carmen at the Lyric Opera House Chicago.
