On the heels of sold-out, in-person performances of Opera Orlando's Creole Carmen, the Company is partnering with WUCF TV to broadcast its ENCORE! presentation of Bizet's fiery masterwork. This original take on Carmen, set in the politically tumultuous and culturally provocative reign of "Papa Doc" Duvalier in 1960s Haiti, is directed by Sara E. Widzer and conducted by Kelly Kuo, featuring musicians from the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra, dancers from University of Florida, and the Opera Orlando Chorus and Youth Company.
