SUMMARY:New London: CARMEN
DESCRIPTION:Buy Tickets \nJoin us for an electrifying evening as Bizet’s immortal Carmen—one of the most beloved and recognizable operas in the world—returns to the stage with irresistible passion\, color\, and drama. Carmen remains a timeless masterpiece\, captivating audiences with its fiery spirit and unforgettable melodies. Set in vibrant Seville\, the story follows Don José\, a soldier torn between duty\, love\, and the magnetic allure of the free‑spirited Carmen. As jealousy consumes him and Carmen turns her attention to the charismatic bullfighter Escamillo\, the opera hurtles toward its gripping final scene outside the bullring. \nThe Virtuosi OPERA international cast is headlined by Brazilian mezzo‑soprano Rebecca de Almeida as Carmen\, American tenor Jax Hassler as Don José\, Polish‑American baritone Wojciech Bonarowski as Escamillo\, and American soprano Makaela Shade-Alexander as Micaëla. Other cast members include Laurentiu Rotaru (Zuniga) Brian Alvarado (Le Dancaïre)\, Daniel Kamalic and Kevin Courtemanche (alternating the role of Le Remendado)\, AddieRose Brown (Mercédès)\, and Emily Tate Daniel (Frasquita). \nArtistic Director maestro Adrian Sylveen leads the Connecticut Virtuosi Chamber Orchestra and the Virtuosi OPERA in a fully staged production enhanced with English super‑title translations. From the iconic “Habanera” to the thrilling “Toreador Song\,” every moment promises intensity\, beauty\, and musical brilliance. Whether you are a longtime opera lover or discovering this classic for the first time\, Carmen will sweep you into a world of passion and fate. Reserve your seats and experience the power of grand opera at its finest. \nCAST: \n\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				CARMEN: Rebecca Almeida\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Don José: Jax Hassler\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Escamillo: Wojciech Bonarowski\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Micaëla: Makaela Shade-Alexander\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Zuniga: Laurentiu Rotaru\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Le Dancaïre / Moralès: Brian Alvarado\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Mercédès: AddieRose Brown\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Le Remendado: Daniel Kamalic\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Frasquita: Emily Tate Daniel\n				\n		\n\nBuy Tickets
