The French Opera "Carmen" will be performed for the first time in Morocco on April 12-14 by the Moroccan philharmonic orchestra (OPM) and the "Eclaté Midi-Pyrénées" theater troupe, said, here Tuesday, OPM director, Zaki Zaz.
This event, held in celebration of the OPM 10th anniversary, is due to be performed in Casablanca, Rabat and Marrakech.
Several French and Moroccan musicians and artists will share the stage under the direction of maestro Thierry Weber to perform this Opera masterpiece by Georges Bizet.
First performed in 1875 at the "Opera Comique" of Paris, the four-act opera relates the story of Carmen, a fiery gypsy woman living in a moralistic constrained society. She caused the downfall of many men who fell in love with her, including the corporal Don José who, after a brief infatuation period, is driven to madness and ultimately kills her, as she turns away from him to the bullfighter Escamillo.
