“… that none can tame.” Powerful lyrics from the sultry and sensuous aria popularly called “Habanera” in French composer Georges Bizet’s 1875 opera “Carmen.” You’ll be able to hear it and so much more when Operísima México performs the opera comique Aug. 15-18 at Casa Europa México, Calle San Francisco #23, Zona Centro.
Set in southern Spain, the story of “Carmen” is as powerful and passionate as the music: When the naïve soldier Don José is seduced by the fiery gypsy Carmen, he abandons his childhood sweetheart and deserts the military.
