HAMPTON ROADS, Va. — Lisa Marie Rogali ("Carmen") and Zach Borichevsky ("Don Josè") share some insights from behind the scenes of Virginia Opera's latest production: Georges Bizet's beloved opera "Carmen."
Here's a description of the production courtesy of Virginia Opera:
Bold, uninhibited, and strong-willed, Carmen lives life on her own terms. She is brave, beautiful, and independent. She does what she wants. She falls in and out of love. She is a power to behold until her obsessed ex violently and tragically rejects her choice to move on.
By Georges Bizet
Sung in French with English Surtitles
Conducted by Adam Turner
Directed by Kyle Lang
