Opera lovers take note, the National Repertory Orchestra in partnership with Colorado Mountain College are proud to announce New York’s Metropolitan Opera HD broadcasts! We hope you will make your reservations and join us for the premier event, Saturday evening, April 10 at Colorado Mountain College in Breckenridge.
Previously opera fans had to drive to one of 2 Denver-area theaters to take in the MET’s HD opera broadcasts, but beginning this April 10, we are presenting the new production of Carmen, by Richard Eyre. This Carmen opera performance by the MET features the much heralded performances of Elina Garanca, Roberto Alagna and Barbara Frittoli.
Opera lovers know the music and compelling story of Carmen, the gypsy ‘lady’ and her toreador. Few of us have heard and seen the passion that Garanca brings to this role.The Metropolitan Opera's gripping new production of Bizet's Carmen, starring the Latvian mezzo-soprano Elina Garanca in the title role and the tenor Roberto Alagna as Don José.
The acclaimed British director Richard Eyre has said that "he wanted to subvert the opera's familiarity so that audiences will leave shocked and awed, yet also touched, by this 1875 masterpiece. That is easy to say, but Mr. Eyre, in his Met debut, has actually done it." Other than updating the Seville setting of the opera to the 1930s from the 1830s, to invoke the brutally repressive period of the Spanish Civil War, Mr. Eyre has created an essentially traditional Carmen.
