＜ Metropolitan Opera 25/26 ＞ 1st Viewing ＆ Last minute study session ： "Carmen" by Bizet （ Carmen ）

One of the most popular operas, Carmen, will be performed by American mezzo ・ soprano diva Isabelle ・ Leonard. The last minute study session is open to everyone, not just those attending the viewing.
Carmen" was composed by Georges ・ Bizet from an original libretto by Mérimée, and premiered at the Opéra Comique in Paris in 1875. Immediately after its premiere, it was criticized solely for the immoral character of the main character Carmen, but its musical innovations were highly praised by Wagner, Tchaikovsky, Massenet, Saint ＝Saens, and other contemporary musicians, and the Vienna production that same year was a great success. Since then, the many solo masterpieces and Carmen's strong character have become so well known to those who have never been to the opera that it has become one of the most popular operas and has been performed again and again in opera houses around the world. Metropolitan ・ Opera has presented the opera 1,041 times since its premiere in 1884. In the past, numerous memorable "Carmen" have appeared. This viewing, on November 1, will be performed by American mezzo ・ soprano diva Isabel ・ Leonard. Is her Carmen an immoral man-eater ？, an incarnation of vice ？, or a strong woman with self as her absolute compass ？? Crackwell has set the play in the present day and brought it to the southern United States near the Mexican border. It is hoped that a new image of Carmen will be created in this environment.

A soldier who falls in love with Carmen （ Not in this production ） Don ・ Jose, an American tenor, Michael ・ Fabiano, a bullfighter whom Carmen falls in love with （ Not in this production ） is sung by baritone Adam ・ Plachetka. Enjoying the dynamism of a classic opera reborn in a new production is one of the most enjoyable aspects of watching this opera.

The last minute study session on October 31 （ Friday ） will explore the secrets of the music of "Carmen" and the fascination of this intense woman who has been moving our hearts for 150 years. Whether you have seen the opera "Carmen" before or not, please join us.
