Using the compelling music of Bizet's famous opera Carmen, Peter Brook's dramatized look into the opera's four leading characters will leave you both invigorated and exhausted. Stripped of their adoring crowds, the impetuous gypsy Carmen, the confused Don Jose, the innocent Micaela, and the fearless toreador Escamillo face off in a tangled love story. Every famous melody and driving rhythm you know from the opera will accompany the drama. The intimacy of the Carrier Theater allows the impassioned action and emotional singing to unfold only yards from your seat.

Syracuse Opera Premiere
The world's only opera composed in the seductive language of Argentine tango brings together the ethereal and the physical to reveal the spiritual journey of the opera's heroine. Astor Piazzolla has mastered the musical language of this dance form to dramatize the life of Maria, who searches recklessly for love. Each step she takes is driven by haunting melodies and accompanied by an orchestra unique to the Argentine sound. The drama is real, the music is imperative, and your experience will be unforgettable.
2013-2014 Season :: Porgy and Bess in Concert
By George Gershwin, DuBose and Dorothy Heyward and Ira Gershwin
Crouse-Hinds Theater
Sunday, April 6 @ 2pm
Sung in English with projected titles
Musical worlds collide for a brilliant night of theater in Gershwin's epic spectacular Porgy and Bess. This truly American opera will be featured in the Crouse-Hinds Theater in one staged-concert performance only. The dynamic community of Catfish Row is dramatized by the music of toe-tapping, finger snapping and soul soothing American jazz. Though the path may be dim and the obstacles forbidding, in the darkest of times there is always hope.
