CARMEN (2 performances)

One of the most famous women in opera is about to make her triumphant return. Join the Mobile Opera as they present Carmen.  Set in Seville around the year 1830, the opera deals with the love and jealousy of Don José, who is lured away from his duty as a soldier and his beloved Micaëla by the gypsy factory-girl Carmen, whom he allows to escape from custody. He is later induced to join the smugglers with whom Carmen is associated but is driven wild by jealousy. Performances will be Friday, Oct. 22 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, Oct. 24, at 2:30 p.m. at the Temple Downtown. For more information and to buy tickets visit https://www.mobileopera.org/carmen
