G&S Society To Present ‘Carmen’ On Film
The Gilbert & Sullivan Society [G&S] is getting set to present the New York Metropolitan Opera’s production of Bizet’s ‘Carmen’ on film in Bermuda, to run on Saturdays starting on February 21, 2015 at the Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute [BUEI].
The approximate running time is 3 hours and 40 minutes.
A spokesperson said, “Richard Eyre’s mesmerizing production of Bizet’s steamy melodrama returns with mezzo-soprano Anita Rachvelishvili singing her signature role of the ill-fated gypsy temptress.
“Aleksandrs Antonenko plays her desperate lover, the soldier Don José, and Ildar Abdrazakov is the swaggering bullfighter, Escamillo, who comes between them.
“Pablo Heras-Casado conducts the irresistible score, which features one beloved and instantly recognizable melody after another.”
The production is presented in French, with English subtitles, and will start at 5.00pm.
