Pacific Opera Project Presents Large-Scale Outdoor Production Of Bizet's CARMEN At The Ford Theatres

On September 1, 2018 at 8pm, Pacific Opera Project (POP) returns to the newly renovated Ford Theatres for a thrilling fully-staged outdoor production of Bizet's Carmen. Following the tremendous success of Abduction from the Seraglio at the Ford in 2016, POP will put on a one-night-only production for its largest audience yet: 1200 seats. Directed and designed by Artistic Director Josh Shaw, Carmen will be conducted by Music Director Michael Powers, choreographed by Amy Lawrence, and costumed by Maggie Green.

The cast features Nora Graham-Smith (Carmen), Dane Suarez (Don José), Babatunde Akinboboye (Escamillo), Aubrey Scarr (Micaela), Katherine Powers (Frasquita), Maria Dominique Lopez (Mercedes), Derrell Acon (Zuniga), Luvi Avendano (Morales), and William Grundler (Remendado), supported by a 43-member chorus, a 10-member children's chorus, and a 31-piece orchestra.

Additional concerts in POP's 2018 season include two performances of Verdi's La traviata with the The Occidental College Glee Club at Occidental College's Thorne Hall; and POP's signature modern take on Puccini's La boheme AKA "The Hipsters" at The Highland Park Ebell Club.
