Carmen: The Traveler, Presented by Pensacola Opera

You may think you know Carmen... think again.

Pensacola Opera presents the world premiere of Carmen: The Traveler, a newly adapted, abridged, and re-orchestrated version of Bizet’s monumental masterpiece. This new imagining of one of opera’s most well known characters features orchestrations by Joseph Brent (Broadway’s Oklahoma!, 2019) and stars mezzo-soprano Caitlin McKechney in the title role. 

Carmen: The Traveler transports the action from its original 19th century setting to the pre-war tension of 1930s Seville. A versatile cast of singer-instrumentalists will perform their roles while accompanying themselves on instruments including guitars, mandolins, and accordions. This new format will make the experience even more immersive and captivating. 

Thursday, November 7th at Seville Quarter
130 E Government St, Pensacola, FL 32502

All-Inclusive Tickets: $75
Includes access into Seville Quarter beginning at 5:30 PM for pre-show activities including Spanish wine tastings, tapas, and entertainment and one ticket to the production beginning at 7 PM. 

Carmen: The Traveler is presented by Pensacola Opera and The Opera Cowgirls and is sponsored by ACE & Foo Foo as part of the 2024 Foo Foo Festival.
