Bryant Park
Carnegie Hall+ presents a free, outdoor film screening in Bryant Park of Bizet’s Carmen—a spectacular open-air viewing in celebration of the opera’s 150th anniversary. Filmed at Italy’s famed Arena di Verona, Franco Zeffirelli’s legendary production features Elīna Garanča as the headstrong young woman from Seville. Considered one of the most popular operas of all time, Carmen includes a host of recognizable arias, including Carmen’s fiery “Habanera” and Escamillo’s tender “Toreador Song.” Conducted by Marco Armiliato, the acclaimed production also features Brian Jagde, Claudio Sgura, and Maria Teresa Leva.
