Carmen

Presented by Cincinnati Opera at Summit Park, Cincinnati OH

Jul 17 - 30 2021
Carmen

World-renowned mezzo-soprano J’Nai Bridges sings the title role in Bizet’s Carmen, an ageless ode to one woman’s fierce independence.

If desire is the spark of love, then Carmen has ignited a thousand infernos. Opera’s quintessential femme fatale, Carmen shows us she’s that and so much more—a fearless, flirtatious force of nature who refuses to answer to anyone but herself. Her confidence attracts the attention of Don José, whose passion turns to obsession, then spirals into madness. When José threatens Carmen with death should she refuse him, she chooses freedom over all. Featuring some of opera’s best-known melodies, from the sultry “Habanera” to the rousing “Toreador Song,” Carmen is an ageless ode to one woman’s fierce independence.

Presented as part of Summer at Summit, Cincinnati Opera’s reimagined open-air festival at Summit Park in Blue Ash.
