Michael Williams’ spectacular staging of Bizet’s eternally popular Spanish melodrama, which played to sell-out success in 2011, is revived as the second installment of the Naspers Grand Opera Masters Series. Michael Mitchell’s atmospheric designs conjure up a hot and sultry Seville, and the large cast is completed by a company of flamenco dancers, executing the inspired choreography of the late Carolyn Holden.
CTO Associate Music Director Tim Murray conducts conducts the CPO, with an augmented CTO Chorus giving full-bodied voice to Bizet’s great melodies, and a cast of international soloists with CTO staff and Studio singers.
