We had a wonderful pre-performance event at Das Rheingold on Wednesday, and the Houston Grand Opera is now making an exciting offer to Houston-Leipzig members and friends for two performances of Carmen, on May 4 and on May 8, for 15% off the ticket price. Be sure to use promo code 4406 to get the special Houston-Leipzig rate.
What can one say about Carmen that hasn’t been said already? Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky so loved Carmen that he saw almost every performance during its opening run. If you know the opera, the familiar tunes will delight you; if you’ve never seen it, take this opportunity and become acquainted with it! For a synopsis of Carmen and a performance history, please click here or check the post on our website.
The new production of Carmen opens tonight, Friday, April 25, at HGO, and a sneak peak a few days ago left audience members – and cast members, too – breathless! You have never seen such an enticing, sexy, and witchy Carmen as uber-talented Ana María Martínez – Georges Bizet must have had her on his mind when he wrote the opera!
Comments included such as “Entertaining . . . impressive . . .” and “Dramatic . . . moving . . . talent-infused. The singing is amazing. I marvel at the range of the human voice. This performance is not to be missed.” “Sexy . . . intriguing . . . The staging, choreography, and dancing add a lot to this production.”
Two performances are already sold out, and three performances have extremely limited seats available. Get your tickets now or call 713-228-OPERA (6737) and don’t forget to enter or tell them your promo code.
Have a wonderful weekend!
