Mezzo-soprano Clémentine Margaine reprises her remarkable portrayal of opera’s ultimate seductress, a triumph in her 2017 debut performances, with impassioned tenors Yonghoon Lee and Roberto Alagna as her lover, Don José. Carmen was a scandal at its premiere but soon after became a triumphal success and has remained one of the most frequently staged operas in the world. The opera’s melodic sweep is as irresistible as the title character herself, a force of nature who has become a defining female cultural figure. Georges Bizet’s masterpiece of the gypsy seductress who lives by her own rules has had an impact far beyond the opera house.
Join the New York City Alumni Chapter for an evening at the Metropolitan Opera to delight in a Met favorite, Carmen.
