Virginia Opera: Carousel May 11, 2013

*There are 2 shows today: 2:30pm & 8:00pm*
By Rodgers and Hammerstein

Carousel barker Billy Bigelow loves Julie Jordan, but can never seem to do right by her. After tragedy strikes, Billy must answer for his behavior, but can a selfish man find it in his heart to be selfless? Carousel’s timeless themes of love redemption are beautifully framed by some of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s most beloved songs including “If I Loved You” and “You’ll Never Walk Alone.”
After receiving stellar praise for his turn as the title roll in Orphèe, acclaimed baritone Matthew Worth returns to tackle another tragic hero, Billy Bigelow, and Director Greg Ganakas re-imagines his celebrated 1996 production.
