In February, HOT presents The Tragedy of Carmen, Peter Brook’s gripping adaptation that brings Bizet’s opera back to its origins of sexual intrigue, power, and complexity.

In this distilled 90-minute production, Carmen’s embrace of her dark fate is elevated from an act of submission to an assertion of power. All making their HOT debuts, Ashley Dixon stars as Carmen, with Christian Pursell as Escamillo and Maria Valdes as Micaëla. HOT favorite Karen Tiller returns to direct, with Emily Senturia conducting.
