Madison Opera’s 2009/2010 Season opens with Georges Bizet’s passion-filled Carmen. Rich, evocative sets and Bizet’s sultry and seductive music will transport audiences to Seville for this classic tragedy of love and lust. Mezzo-soprano Katharine Goeldner brings her acclaimed Carmen to Madison Opera, here supported by an exciting young cast including Adam Diegel, Elizabeth Caballero and Hyung Yun (Faust, 2009). With Maestro John DeMain conducting and stage direction by Madison native Candace Evans, Carmen offers an exhilarating start to Madison Opera’s 49th season.
