Carmen, the irresistible gypsy girl, ignites and manipulates the love-struck soldier, Don Jose, and the pair set the stage ablaze. As familiar as Bizet’s music is to nearly every ear, it never fails to ravish the senses. In celebration of our tenth season, Rimrock Opera presents Carmen on Saturday, March 28 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, March 29, 2009 at 3 p.m. at the Alberta Bair Theater. A full orchestra, stunning sets, sumptuous period costumes, and members of the Rimrock Opera Chorus for Kids, frame the principal singers to break faithful hearts once again.
