Sempre Opera and the Joburg Theatre together with the PSO Orchestra, presents Carmen on 3, 5, 8 and 10 June 2018!

Directed by well-known baritone Danie Verster, Carmen will be fully staged and will feature the Pretoria Symphony Orchestra and the Armonia Theatre Chorus, under the baton of Schalk van der Merwe, one of South Africa’s ambitious, upcoming conductors. Carmen features a local and international cast with seasoned and young and upcoming opera singers. Mezzo-soprano Linette van der Merwe stars as the strong-willed and seductive gypsy who destroys the naïve, lovesick soldier Don José. José is played by Stéfan Louw, well-known tenor on opera stages in South Africa and abroad. In other leading roles, baritone Christian Bester, residing in the United States since 2006, will return to his home country for the role of the dashing bullfighter Escamillio, and sopranos Lauren Dasappa from Cape Town, and Marina Botha-Spies will share the role of Don José’s sweetheart Micaëla. In the roles of Carmen’s gypsy friends, soprano Ailyn Nienaber will star as Frasquita, and visiting American soprano Loralee Songer as Mercédez. Chris Mostert (tenor), Walter Fourie (tenor) and Lourens de Jager will be seen in the roles of Remendado, Dancairo and Morales.

The opera will be sung in French with English supertitles. Come experience this most vivid of operas, performed by a dynamic local and international cast. Sunday, June 3th at 15:00, Tuesday June 5th at 19:30, Friday, June 8th at 19:30, Sunday, June 10th at 15:00.
