Get swept up in the world of Carmen like never before with La Carmencita, a fresh take on Bizet's classic from the innovative new opera company, The Opera Next Door (TOND). Born out of a series of stoop concerts presented in Brooklyn during the summer of 2020, TOND has since expanded, with a renewed focus and mission of bringing the magic and wonder of opera to broader audiences. Colombian soprano, TOND founder, and Bedford-Stuyvesant resident Sasha Gutiérrez, stage director Rebecca Miller Kratzer, and Latin GRAMMY Award-winning bassist and composer Pedro Giraudo have recontextualized Carmen through a modern, Latin American lens. In a reduced, tango adaptation set in a Buenos Aires café, passion, jealousy, fate, and hope unfold as Carmen takes control over her destiny. La Carmencita features a tango adaptation of the score by Giraudo, who plays alongside his acclaimed quartet as the opera's intimate orchestra. The opera will be performed in a new Spanish translation with English subtitles. Original translation by Sasha Gutiérrez Produced by Sasha Gutiérrez, Zack O’Farrill, Santiago Gutiérrez and Felipe Hoyos-González There are two ways to access this free event: 1.
