Opera San Jose’s extravagant new production of Bizet’s Carmen pairs an exciting cast and classic tale with flamenco music, world-class singing and a children’s choir, all under the reimagined stage direction of the award-winning Lilian Groag. The enduring story of one woman’s unceasing search for freedom and passion—and her tragic, operatic fall—Carmen is led by veteran conductor Joseph Marcheso, features mezzo-soprano Nikola Printz and brings the acclaimed Flamenco Society of San Jose on board for a truly vibrant production.
