Event Description
Sultry, bold, daring. As free as a rebellious bird, it is hard to escape the magnetic allure of Carmen. After a corporal military officer falls for her, what begins as a passionate story of desire quickly turns into a struggle for liberation. Opera Carolina’s Carmen brings every aspect of Bizet’s thrilling tale to life, from its tantalizing beginning to its devastating climax.
Performed in French with English captions.

Renowned architect Cesar Pelli designed the Performing Arts Center, which opened in 1992, as well as the adjacent Bank of America Corporate Center and Founders Hall. The Center’s name honors the contributions of the people of the state of North Carolina as well as the generosity of the Blumenthal Foundation, the largest private donor to the capital campaign.
