Show Title
Carmen
Repertoire
Mvt. 1: "Prelude to Act I" setting up the mood of the townspeople milling around the square in Seville. With Spanish exoticism permeating the atmosphere, Carmen is introduced and begins to exhibit the flair that makes her so appealing to men.
Mvt. 2: "Intermezzo" is from the original’s Prelude to Act III. The music is emotional and allows the guard interprets the concept through the use of movement.
Mvt. 3: "March of the Toreadors/Allegro Moderato" The music becomes more sinister and dark, allowing the percussion to explore the more ominous sound effects available. The music segues into perhaps the most famed of the melodies, euphoric and vivacious, comes to the fore as the bullfighter in the storyline is celebrated.
Mvt. 4a: "Finale (Down Ending Version)" is from the end of the opera, where a jilted lover kills Carmen and the famed bells theme peals out, mourning the loss of the title character. The down ending allows the band to capture the emotional content that is synonymous with the death of Carmen.
