BIZET’S CARMEN

Location:
Gables Cinema
260 Aragon Ave
Coral Gables, FL 33134-5008
Cost: $11.75
http://www.gablescinema.com/events/bizet-carmen/

Carmen is a Latin soap opera if ever there was one, and the sheer passionate joy of Bizet’s music is as vulgar as it is sublime, as popular as it is classical. Carmen is one of those operas ideally suited to the movies, and this version by Francesco Rosi (Salvatore Giuliano, The Moment of Truth) is definitive, exciting, involving and entertaining. The music was recorded in Paris with Lorin Maazel conducting the National Orchestra of France. Plácido Domingo is in great voice as the smitten Don José and American soprano Julia Migenes not only can sing the title role but, perhaps just as importantly, can look it and act it.–

Music by Bruce Adolphe, words by Shakespeare. Seven actors from Shakespeare Miami join 14 musicians from Orchestra Miami to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the Bard’s death. Directed by Colleen Stovall and conducted by Elaine Rinaldi. Experience the magic and sorcery in Shakespeare’s plays with a wicked depiction of a witch’s bubbling cauldron, a puckish clarinet that slips and slides with quicksilver virtuosity, and the magical, dizzying dance of four fantastic fairies!
