OPERA-2646-02/092719 Opera Orlando’s Carmen On the MainStage at Dr. Phillips Center | April 2021 Dear friends, Carmen is finally here! Although many plans have changed over the course of the past year, we have always had our sights set on Carmen, not just because of its incredible music and compelling story but more because of the unique setting and concept of this production in particular - 1960s Haiti. So why transport Carmen and her friends from 1820s Seville to 1960s Haiti? Well, it all just seemed to make sense, for Orando, that is. We have a vibrant and growing Haitian-American community in Central Florida, and Creole is actually the third most commonly spoken language in the state of Florida. Given that Creole derives from French, and given the African- Carribean influences already present in Carmen, setting Carmen in Haiti was a natural fit and a great way for us to celebrate Haitian culture and influence in our own community. We were excited to partner with the Greater Haitian American Chamber of Commerce for this production and connect with Haitian-American artists, choreographers, and academics. Since Carmen is a tale of survival against all odds, we wanted to find a particularly tumultuous time in Haiti’s history to make things extra difficult for our heroine, and setting the work in the 1960s under the despotic rule of Francois Duvalier (aka Papa Doc) certainly raised the stakes.

  • Carmen Jones Audition

    Carmen Jones Audition

    CARMEN JONES By Oscar Hammerstein II Based on the Opera Carmen by Georges Bizet Directed by Thomas-Whit Ellis AUDITION INFORMATION WHAT IS THE PLAY ABOUT? Carmen Jones is an African American musical based on the opera Carmen. It is not the opera Carmen, it does not use operatic, “trained voice” stylized singing, although trained voices are encouraged to audition. It is about the lead character, who through her charm and other attributes, drives men crazy with love for her. She is her own woman and does not let any man dictate her terms of whom or when to love. She’s much like Nola Darling, in the Spike Lee film She’s Got to Have It. The play opens with Joe, a military recruit soon to be a black Air Force pilot, falling for her and quickly ditching his broken hearted, high school sweetheart for Carmen. In the meantime, Carmen soon gets into a brawl and kills another woman who also thinks she’s all that. This promptly lands Carmen in jail. Joe is assigned to escort her into town to stand trial. Along the way, he is overwhelmed by “charms,” sets her free, abandons his life and career to become a co-fugitive with her. She soon grows grows bored with his clinginess and meets the heavy weight champion of the world, who is passing through town with his entourage. He falls for her and invites her to travel with him to his next series of fights. We then trace the set of dramas that take place with Joe still pining after her, his old girlfriend pining after him, along with other murders, misdeeds and problems.
