FOLLOWING a critically acclaimed seven-week run in London’s Soho Theatre last year, OperaUpClose brings Bizet’s Carmen to Lancaster Grand on Tuesday, January 24 (7.30pm).
Written and directed by the company’s Olivier Award-winning artistic director, Robin Norton-Hale, Carmen is set in a torrid South American landscape of dust and concrete, in the mid-20th Century, where small-town boredom and machismo can turn nasty. Bizet’s powerful melodies are orchestrated for a quartet of strings, woodwind and piano by composer Harry Blake.
Box office 01524-64695.
