Main Theatre


The blazing heat of Spain sets the stage for one of the most widely- acclaimed operas of all time... Bizet's masterpiece of doomed love, Carmen. The seductive and free- spirited gypsy, Carmen, has the power to bewitch any man she chooses... and she does. After casting aside one ardent lover for another, jealousy and obsession seal Carmen's fate in one of the most heartbreaking finales in all of opera.

Edmonton Opera is proud to present the first-ever Carmen of the acclaimed Canadian soprano, Lyne Fortin. She will be joined by an outstanding blend of Québec-based artists and international performers to present Bizet's sensual and fiery score: glorious music, brilliant orchestrations and pulsating rhythms that will leave you hanging on to the very last note.

Sung in French with English supertitles
All performances begin at 7:30 pm
