CANCELLED: Manitoba Opera Presents Carmen

UPDATE 3/17/2020 – Announcement : Manitoba Opera Events Update. Performances of Carmen Cancelled.

680 CJOB welcomes Carmen to the Centennial Concert Hall March 28th, March 31st and April 3rd!

The sexy thriller that seduces the audience with every note.

Carmen can have any man she wants, and discards them as easily as she does the cigarettes she makes. When she seduces the proud young soldier Don José, only to cast him aside for the handsome bullfighter, jealousy ignites. José is pushed to the brink. Carmen’s tragic fate has been sealed.

Considered the most popular opera of all time, Carmen is brimming with very recognizable music including Carmen’s smoky Habanera, Don José’s Flower Song, and the rousing Toreador Song.
