La Tragedie de Carmen

La Tragedie de Carmen is Peter Brook’s pared down version of Bizet’s well-known opera, trimming away the chorus and grand sets to focus on the intense relationships, motivations, and drama of the four main characters. Set in an intimate space with piano accompaniment, the 70 minute production uses the most famous tunes and musical moments from Carmen to thrill the audience with its intensity. The production is sung in French with English subtitles.

This productions is presented by arrangement with Boosey & Hawkes, Inc., Sole Agent in the US, Canada and Mexico for Editions Salabert, a Universal Music Publishing Group company, publisher and copyright owner.

There will be a limited number of free tickets offered for each performance, sponsored in part by a grant from the Acushnet, Dartmouth, Mattapoisett, and Fairhaven Local Cultural Councils, agencies supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council.

Remaining tickets are $30 and include a meet-the-artists reception after the performance.
