Opening Weekend of Carmen!

It's Opening Weekend for the Hubbard Hall Opera Theater's production of Bizet's La Tragedie de Carmen!

To get yourself relaxed and ready for the big weekend - register for our Foot Massage Workshop taking place in Thursday, August 13 from 6pm - 7:30pm in the Beacon Feed Building. It's only $15 per person or $25 for a couple. So bring a friend, sibling, neighbor or spouse along to get the best deal. Foot massage can be a powerful tool in supporting the health of yourself and your family. This introduction to working the terrain of the feet will be a hands-on-feet event! Bring your curiosity and questions, a pillow, towel and light blanket. Instructor Anne Snyder began her 20+ year career by first learning foot massage. She's given me a foot massage that was 20 minutes of sheer, relaxing bliss even for my beat up runner's feet! Registration is required so please give us a call at 518-677-2495 to register! George Bizet's La Tragedie de Carmen Opening Weekend! In 1981 Peter Brook's adaptation of Georges Bizet's Carmen premiered in Paris. In 1984 La Tragedie de Carmen won the Tony Award for Outstanding Achievement in Musical Theater. With the help of famous lyricist Sheldon Harnick, the English translation of this evocative work allowed Carmen to be understood in a new light. This version is not meant to replace or outdo the usual Carmen, but rather is meant to hone our focus on a more intimate and no-frills tale as the tragedy of seduction, jealousy, lost freedom and lost love unravels and delivers a spicy and compact punch which can serve as a warning to anyone who has ever wanted everything in life and risked it all.
