CARMEN, by Georges Bizet is a modern opera, which takes place in Seville (Spain) at the beginning of the 19 th Century. The story has shoking aspects based on French writer Mérimée' s novella and Russian Poet Pushkin’s Poems.
This opera was extremely innovative in its drama: alternating comic or sentimental scenes found traditionally in opera-comique with stark realism, treating emotions with absolute seriousness.
Carmen, a promiscuos gipsy, is fatalistic and hedonistic and she would set, as she explains in the Habanera, her own rules to try men. To perform Carmen, Acting plays a key-role.

Carmen on 6th March by Fundamus

Fundamus is an Opera Company, which every year stops the silence of summer with interesting Opera Proposals.
In a interview Alicia Cecotti has said : “ To perform Carmen, it is important to have an acting. The most important for this role-play is not the voice. It is important to understand the essence of this key role. My Carmen is a happy one, merry of her life…. She dances , she jokes about the others. She has an strong temperament when fighting with others “
Both Singers with the main role Carmen, Alicia Cecotti and Maria Lujan Mirabelli , agree that it is an modern opera, in our time, in our century.
The topics are the eternal topics, love, desire, quarrels, passion and strong feelings.
To remember:
Carmen, by G. Bizet

Teatro Colón Update
I want to share with you this information about Teatro Colón, summarise by Samuel
W. Warde.
The Teatro Colón, Argentina’s top opera house, has a new director. Musician, producer, cultural personality and former director of the Teatro Argentino de La Plata, Pedro Pablo García Caffi, 64, was appointed to this position by Buenos Aires City Mayor Mauricio Macri. The position had been vacant since January, after the resignation of Horacio Sanguinetti.
The Teatro Colón’s doors were closed in 2006 to facilitate the completion of a full restoration begun in 2001. The theater was closed to refurbish its seating, acoustic tiles, wooden stage and balconies, and to modernize its aging water, electrical and air conditioning systems.
Prior to his resignation, former theater director Horacio Sanguinetti insisted that the theater would be ready for the 2010 season, which already includes commitments by Milan's Teatro Alla Scala symphony, led by Argentine-born conductor Daniel Barenboim.
Let’s keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best!
