Chicago City Opera Presents:
Carmen

Oct 3rd & 4th - 7pm
Rosehill Cemetery- May Chapel

As Carmen turns 150 this year, it continues to dazzle and delight audiences around the world. It is still ranked among the top three most-performed operas globally, and has perhaps the broadest reach of any opera. It has been heard everywhere from the Formula 1 podium to The Muppets, and now Chicago City Opera brings Carmen to you in a close-up, powerful experience! Join us on a journey through Spain as we meet a woman as ferocious as any bullfighter, as free as the wind, and as decisive as the pull of fate. Carmen is an outsider in a country that both loves and fears her. Join us and see the opera that has captivated the world for a century and a half!
