Event Details

This spectacular open-air viewing celebrates Carmen's 150th anniversary.

Filmed at Italy’s famed Arena di Verona, Franco Zeffirelli’s legendary production features Elīna Garanča as the headstrong young woman from Seville.

Considered one of the most popular operas of all time, Carmen includes a host of recognizable arias, including Carmen’s fiery “Habanera” and Escamillo’s tender “Toreador Song.” Conducted by Marco Armiliato, the acclaimed production also features Brian Jagde, Claudio Sgura, and Maria Teresa Leva.
