A double bill for Manitoba Underground Opera exploring the dangers of believing in the idea of love than more than love itself.

Anna Sokolovic’s Svadba / Bartok’s Bluebeard’s Castle.

Both shows will be part of a season planned by the company exploring ideas around marriage and weddings.

I’ll be directing Cowtown Opera’s 4th offering of the season - Carmen - at Cspace in Calgary.

Pared down to a fast-paced, four character romantic thriller, this Carmen will still have all the music you love in a sleek 90 minute adaptation. Come see this contemporary staging and kick off stampede season with something different.

Set and Props by Jennifer Arsenault, Lighting Design by Lisa Floyd

Music Direction by Evan Mount

Dates:

May 24th and 25th @ 7:30pm

May 25th and 26th @ 2:30pm
