🎭 Every bit of flash and fire a midwest miserable with an insipid frost could conjure or desire of a mythic Mediterranean, is amply present in this lavish LyricOpera production. | ✍️ IreneCHsiao
The Lyric Opera was packed to the rafters with patrons twinkling with sequins for opening night of Georges Bizet’s, with libretto by Henri Meilhac and Ludovic Halévy. Premiered in Paris to moral scandal in 1875, the tragic opera, based on an 1845 novella by Prosper Mérimée, about a bohémienne and her fatal seduction of a brigadier, was admired by composers including Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Massenet, and Wagner, and has surely launched a thousand ice dancing routines.
But Don José is excited to see his homegirl Micaëla and wants to hear how his ma is doing . And Micaëla of the glistening voice sounds radiant next to the dark Carmen, who blares like a nasty trumpet—who wouldn’t want to hear her talk of village life? Not Carmen and some dozens of cigarette girls screaming because Carmen STABBED a bitch. And so what if she did?
Here, unlike at the factory, Carmen has friends, Frasquita and Mercédès , and all of them are wanted for a smuggling operation masterminded by Dancaïre and Remendado . A proper bout of trickery demands a woman’s touch—they all agree, and we know they’ll get away with it because any quintet that can keep up with this brisk and fabulous complexity of harmonizing can confound the average customs officer.

Meat Moot smokes low and slow, and its cleaver-flipping 'butchers' steal the show - Chicago ReaderFedora’d men in butchers aprons hoist hunks of wobbling flesh aloft like sacrificial offerings. Stationed before a bank of smokers—meat vaults loaded with parchment-and-tinfoil-swaddled briskets, beef ribs, and lamb shoulders—they slowly tug glistening bones from steaming muscle, smiling as it collapses. The meat smacks against wooden cutting boards, quivering under downpours of salt and spice […]
