About this event
Join The Bluebirds and Reduced Opera Company in this boldly reimagined Carmen. Sung in English, the drama unfolds inside a vast cloth factory; this is the world of the life-affirming Carmen - a charismatic and seductive textile worker, looking for life beyond the drudgery of the factory floor; there's Jose, the lonely security guard drawn into her rebellious underworld; and the celebrity fashion designer Escamillo of Toro Textiles, with his youthful bravado and iconic bull-ring style. Re-told with a cast of six singers, puppetry and accompanied by piano and flamenco guitar, this re-telling of the classic tale is reworked with new dynamic relevance.
