Mezzo-soprano Kendall Gladen brings to life the
manipulative and magnetic personality of Carmen
in this simply staged concert performance. Set
in Seville, Spain, around 1830, the story revolves
around a beautiful gypsy who woos the young
corporal Don José. The relationship ends tragically
when Don José murders Carmen after she rejects
him for the bullfi ghter Escamillo.
