Lakes Area Music Festival: Carmen

Passion that burns too hot.

The season’s ultimate thrill, Bizet’s Carmen erupts with raw emotion and intoxicating drama. International sensation Julia Bullock makes her electrifying role debut as the free-spirited heroine whose charisma captivates everyone around her—especially a young soldier whose infatuation turns perilous. Fueled by unforgettable melodies and rhythms that simmer and surge, this is opera at its most seductive, volatile, and utterly unmissable.
