Artist-in-Residence Program
Carmen is so well known that you can almost see the music unfold
in your head, but when was the last time you heard a performance
in which Bizet's singular musical genius blazed so incandescently?
The finest Carmen of her ti me, American mezzo-soprano Denyce
Graves will be joined by Metropolitan Opera veteran Richard Leech as Don José and Luis Ledesma as the dashing Toreador, Escamillo,
all under the baton of maestro Joseph Rescigno.

Kirstin Chavez
American mezzo Kirstin Chavez is the Carmen of a lifetime. With her dark, generous mezzo, earthy eroticism, volcanic spontaneity and smoldering charisma, Chavez has it all, icluding a superb command of French and a sense of humor. And she can dance, too. ....Furlan's and Chavez's performances went beyond opera, beyond, music, to that rare place where theater and truth meet.
