Portland Opera: Carmen
February 6, 8m, 10, 12 &14, 2015
Keller Auditorium

To the soldier Don José, she is hypnotic: “Never, never has any woman so deeply disturbed my soul. You are a devil.” To Micaëla, Don José’s sweetheart, she is the most potent of rivals: “She is beautiful, dangerous. Her snares have turned the man I loved into a disgrace.” To Escamillo, Don José’s rival, she is inspiration: “Tell me your name and the next time I kill a bull, yours will be the one I whisper.”
To audiences at her premiere she was “the very incarnation of vice,” outlined in music that was “dull and obscure.” To today’s audiences, she is seen as one of the strongest and most independent women ever to dominate the stage. Mezzo-sopranos who have successfully conquered the role are legendary. Sandra Piques Eddy is quickly becoming part of this elite group: “There have been many great Carmens through the years; Marilyn Horne, Agnes Baltsa, Tatiana Troyanos, to name a few. Sandra Piques Eddy deserves to be placed alongside those legends (Opera Online).” “A sexy balance of physical elegance and visceral appetites (Kansas City Star).” “A wonderful singing actress whose Carmen used her burgundy rich-low register as a powerful tool of seduction (Chicago Tribune).”

Sung in French with English titles projected above the stage.
