OVERVIEW: Peter Brook’s 1981 La tragédie de Carmen (The Tragedy of Carmen) is more than a shorter, recut version of Bizet’s Carmen. While it pares the cast down to four singers, accompanied by a chamber orchestra, and is filled with musical passages from Bizet’s famous opera, La Tragédie is a nearly complete reworking of the story focused on the intense interactions and tragedy of the four central characters.
ARTISTS: Ari Pelto, conductor | Omer Ben Seadia, director | Tláloc López-Watermann, lighting/video designer | Kirstin Chávez, Carmen | Isaac Hurtado, Don José | Efraín Solís, Escamillo | Julia Gershkoff, Micaëla | Brandon Bell, Zuniga/Garcia | Daniel O’Hearn, Lillas Pastia | Edith Grossman, Fate | Utah Symphony
