POTSDAM -- The Met: Live in HD at Potsdam's Roxy Theater, 20 Main St., will show Bizet's "Carmen" on Nov. 1 at 12:55 p.m. with an encore set for Nov. 9 at 6:30 p.m.
Richard Eyre’s mesmerizing production of Bizet’s steamy melodrama returns with mezzo-soprano Anita Rachvelishvili singing her signature role of the ill-fated gypsy temptress.
Aleksandrs Antonenko plays her desperate lover, the soldier Don José, and Ildar Abdrazakov is the swaggering bullfighter, Escamillo, who comes between them. Pablo Heras-Casado conducts the irresistible score, which features one beloved and instantly recognizable melody after another.
The opera will be performed in French, with English subtitles. The approximate running time is three hours, 40 minutes, including intermission.
Tickets are $18 for adults, $15 for seniors, $12 for students and $9 for youth. Purchase tickets through the Community Performance Series Box office, located in the lobby of SUNY Potsdam's Performing Arts Center, or at 267-2277 or http://cpspotsdam.org.
