Listen "If Romance Is Dead, Opera’s Giving Me Life"
Episode Synopsis
"Carmen" is the opera that many of us know. At its recent local run at the venerable Queen Elizabeth Theatre in downtown Vancouver, I was tempted to yodel at the top of my lungs, “Toreador, don’t spit on the floor!” It’s a favourite schoolyard reworking of the opera’s most famous aria. I restrained myself, because the Vancouver Opera’s new production of Carmen was already a glorious amount of fun. Dorothy Woodend writes. Dorothy is The Tyee's culture editor.
