Boston Midsummer Opera
presents Peter Brook's
"The Tragedy of Carmen"

Drew Minter, Artistic Director
Susan Davenny Wyner, Music Director

This season BMO will be presenting it's first full opera, Peter Brook's The Tragedy of Carmen, a gripping adaptation of Georges Bizet's famous late-19th century opera.  All of Bizet's most celebrated music is retained, with a pared down cast of four singers and three actors, and an orchestra of fifteen players.  To be performed in a superb English translation by Sheldon Harnick (Fiddler on the Roof, She Loves Me) this is Carmen like you've never seen it before— intense, intimate and bitingly tragic. The opera will be sung in English, in one act, lasting 80 minutes. Artistic Director, Drew Minter, again joins Music Director, Susan Davenny Wyner.
