One of the most popular and frequently performed operas in the classical canon, Carmen has been widely acclaimed for its brilliance of melody, harmony, atmosphere, and orchestration. This February 12 – 27, Opera San José joins forces with the acclaimed Flamenco Society of San José for a beautiful reimagined production of this work, fusing dance, singing, and drama to tell the passionate tale of a defiant heroine, whose rebellious quest for freedom seals her tragic fate. Immensely challeng- ing to sing and perform, the award-winning West Side Story has bridged the gap between musicals and opera. For the first time in company history, Opera San José brings a musical to the stage from April 16 – May 1, 2022, closing out this unfor- gettable season with a stun- ning production of West Side Story. Bursting with passion, humor, dancing, and some of the most memorable music ever written, this company premiere tells the American tale of two star-crossed lovers and the prejudices that keep them apart. For more information or to purchase tickets, the public can visit operasj.org or call (408) 437-4450 (open Monday through Friday, 9:00am–5:00pm).
