THE ROYAL OPERA: CARMEN STAGE AND SCREEN
APRIL 9 at 6:30 p.m. and APRIL 11 at 1:30 p.m.
Carmen is the best-known work by French composer Georges Bizet, and one of the most famous operas in the entire art form
– numbers such as the Habanera and the Toreador Song have permeated the popular consciousness as little else has. The
opera’s heady combination of passion, sensuality and violence initially proved too much for the stage, and it was a critical
failure on its 1875 premiere. Bizet died shortly after, and never learned of the spectacular success his Carmen would achieve:
the opera has been performed more than five hundred times at Covent Garden alone. This ever-popular opera is given a fresh
point of view in Barrie Kosky’s highly physical production, originally created for Frankfurt Opera.
BIG FISH & BEGONIA APRIL 11 & 12 2 NIGHTS ONLY! SUBBED AND DUBBED

of the seasons. But one of these beings, a young girl named Chun, wants
to experience the human world, not simply observe it. When she turns
sixteen, Chun is allowed to transform into a dolphin and explore the
human world. She is rescued from a vortex by a human boy at the cost of
his own life. Moved by his kindness and courage, she decides to give the
boy life again, but this power comes at a price.
