‘Carmen’ sells out Dell Hall; live broadcast planned
Austin Lyric Opera’s production of “Carmen” — the organization’s debut at the new Long Center for the Performing Arts — has sold out all of its four upcoming performances at the Long’s 2,400-seat Dell Hall. As of blog posting time, all but a few single tickets have been sold.
But even if you don’t have a ticket, you’ll still have the chance to hear the inaugural performance Friday night when Classical 89.5 KMFA broadcasts the opera live beginning at 7 p.m.
This is the first of a series of planned simulcasts of ALO’s productions.
The simulcast commentary will be hosted by Lauren Rico, also the host of Minnesota Opera broadcasts on public radio. Intermission interviews will feature ALO’s General Director Kevin Patterson, Principal Conductor Richard Buckley and stars from the production.
Celebrated mezzo-soprano Beth Clayton will sing the role of Carmen. William Joyner will sing the role of the young soldier Don José.
