Carmen at the san Francisco Opera

November 13th-December 1st
War Memorial Opera House
301 Van Ness Avenue
San Francisco, CA 94102

Members of SFGC’s Concert Group joins the cast of SF Opera’s Carmen as part of the children’s choir.

Her passion is freeing. His obsession is deadly.

As free as a rebellious bird, it is hard to escape the magnetic allure of Carmen. Entranced by her passionate seguidilla, the soldier Don José descends into a dangerous spiral of desire.

Jealousy and obsession lead to fatal consequences in Francesca Zambello’s production in which matadors bump shoulders with factory workers in the heat of Seville. 
Bizet’s evocative score features some of the most recognizable music in opera, brought to life by conductor Benjamin Manis.
