Carmen

The outstanding young English conductor Edward Gardner makes his highly anticipated house debut in this revival of Bizet's tunefully tormented tragedy, deftly staged by Richard Eyre. But let's be real—the reason you'll be here is Elina Garanca, whose performances as the titular cigarette girl lit up the stage last season. Brandon Jovanovich is Don José, Hei-Kyung Hong portrays Micaëla and John Relyea sings Escamillo.
