Knoxville Opera: Carmen
Fri Oct 24 at 7:30 PM and Sun Oct 26 at 2:30 PM
Tennessee Theatre, 604 S. Gay Street

Living life on her own terms in sultry Seville, the drama starts when Carmen catches the eye of the soldier, Don José, and desire quickly turns into obsession. Add in the swagger of star bullfighter Escamillo, a touch of jealousy, and one of the most iconic scores in opera history.
As irresistible as its heroine, Bizet’s Carmen is a masterpiece of operatic drama and unforgettable music—including the iconic Habanera and Toreador Song. Join us at the Tennessee Theatre for this classic tale of passion, freedom, and fatal consequences.
Sung in French with projected English Translations. Parental warning: This production contains mature themes and staged violence.
