This weekend, Boheme Opera NJ will present THE opera for people who think they don’t like opera, Georges Bizet’s “Carmen.” Even if someone thinks singing isn’t their thing, they can while away the time counting the staggering number of hit tunes, surely recognizable from their incessant use in cartoons, movies and television commercials.
The fully staged production will be sung in French with English supertitles, with dialogue spoken (as Bizet intended) in English translation.
Performances will take place tonight at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 3 p.m. in the Kendall Main Stage Theater at The College of New Jersey Center for the Arts in Ewing.
No bulls were harmed in the making of this opera. Read more about it in my article in today’s Trenton Times.
