Montreal mezzo-soprano Carolyn Sproule plays the title role in the company's opening opera of the season.
Tickets: $29-$153 from the Royal McPherson box office or rmts.bc.ca
Carmen is long considered sacred ground, where opera is concerned. Most directors are hesitant to alter aspects of French composer Georges Bizet’s original; simply put, fans are expecting to see the big, bold 19th century love story set during the Spanish Civil War presented on a grand scale.
Sproule was initially going to make her professional debut as Carmen during Pacific Opera’s run scheduled for April 14-26, 2020. Those dates were postponed when the province shut down in-person performances. “This would have been my first Carmen with an established opera company, and I was so excited when I got the e-mail about doing it,” she said.
