About Ellen Kent: The Farewell Tour – Carmen

Senbla presents Ellen Kent’s Farewell Opera Tour featuring Opera International Kyiv, Ukraine, with Highly-Praised Soloists and Full Orchestra.

An evening of passion, sexual jealousy, death, and unforgettable arias.

This dazzling production with orchestra features Bizet’s unforgettable melodies, including ‘The Toreador’s Song’, Carmen’s enticing ‘Habanera’, and Don José’s lyrical ‘Flower Song’ in a setting evoking the stunning architecture of Seville and its main square with Roman and Moorish influences.

Directed by Ellen Kent.
