Carmen

An incredible cast performs this vibrant D.C. premiere production directed by Francesca Zambello and conducted by Evan Rogister, including superstars Isabel Leonard (role debut) and Michael Fabiano (company debut), and Marian Anderson Award Winner Ryan Speedo Green (mainstage debut). Bizet’s blockbuster of tumultuous love has everything you want from an opera, from Carmen’s instantly recognizable “Habanera” aria to the famous “Toreador Song,” all culminating in a spectacular finale at a bullfight. Carmen’s determination to be “born free and to die free” is what makes her irresistible—but in love, does anything come without a prize?
