Carmen @ Atlanta Opera, Cobb Energy The Atlanta Opera opens its 2012-2013 season with Bizet’s classic, Carmen. Set in sultry Spain, the opera traces Don José’s ill-fated attraction to the alluring gypsy, Carmen. When Carmen casts off her ardent lover for the handsome toreador, Escamillo, José’s intense jealousy turns to vengeance and dooms the fiery romance to a tragic end. Carmen is full of sizzling opera hits, including the famous “Habañera” and the irresistible Toreador’s song.  Music by Georges Bizet; Libretto by Henri Meilhac and Ludovic Halévy Conducted by Carl and Sally Gable Music Director Arthur Fagen Directed by Jeffrey Marc Buchman Seating at the sole discretion of the box office.
