A Pocket Opera

by CarmenCo Trio

A seamless amalgamation of classical music, theatre, and laugh-out-loud comedy, CarmenCo’s A Pocket Opera is an irreverent reimagination of Bizet’s opera Carmen - now told from the heroine’s perspective.

Dare you consult the cards with her? What does she really think of the men in her story? Did she foresee her gruesome ending and does she like the opera Bizet wrote about her?

Old Seville is conjured by favourite numbers from Bizet’s opera Carmen, alongside repertoire from Tarrega, Boccherini, Albeniz, Ravel, Garcia-Lorca and Falla.

CarmenCo will have the audience in turn, laughing out loud, and listening with absolute silence to the immersive and evocative music.

“The most astonishing performance we have ever staged” - Aberdeen Chamber Music Concerts

“A buffet of musical morsels, served with an infectious mixture of respectful reverence and impish send-up; an evening that will linger long in the memory. In short – unique.” - Carlisle Music Society
