REPORTERS
REVIEWS
Women led opera!
“Together, the women aimed to craft a production that avoided cliches. For example, the title character will be portrayed as a well-rounded person rather than a seductress.”
A feast for the senses!
“Opera Columbus’ new production of Georges Bizet’s “Carmen” offers a feast for the senses: Sterling singing, masterful musicianship and deft direction work in concert to tell the story of the Spanish gypsy Carmen and her litany of lovers.”
Breathes new life!
“An all-female creative team breathes new life into the powerfully beguiling gypsy Carmen who has no rules when it comes to seducing the soldier José”
