To the soldier Don José, she is
hypnotic: “Never, never has any
woman so deeply disturbed my
soul. You are a devil.” To Micaëla,
Don José’s sweetheart, she is the
most potent of rivals: “She is
beautiful, dangerous. Her snares
have turned the man I loved into a
disgrace.” To Escamillo, Don José’s rival, she is
inspiration: “Tell me your name and the next time I kill a
bull, yours will be the one I whisper.”
To audiences at her premiere she was “the very
incarnation of vice,” outlined in music that was “dull and
obscure.” To today’s audiences, she is seen as one of the
strongest and most independent women ever to dominate
the stage. Mezzo-sopranos who have successfully
conquered the role are legendary. Sandra Piques Eddy is
quickly becoming part of this elite group: “There have
been many great Carmens through the years; Marilyn
Horne, Agnes Baltsa, Tatiana Troyanos, to name a few.
Sandra Piques Eddy deserves to be placed alongside
those legends.” (Opera Online) “A sexy balance of
physical elegance and visceral appetites.” (Kansas City
Star) “A wonderful singing actress whose Carmen used
her burgundy rich-low register as a powerful tool of
seduction.” (Chicago Tribune).
Sung in French with English titles projected above
the stage.
Season subscriptions available from Portland
Opera.
