DEN NORSKE OPERA
Friday 1985-05-03
CARMEN
Opera in 4 acts by Georges Bizet
Text: Henri Meilhac & Ludovic Halevy
Translation: Per E. Fosser
Conductor: Per Åke Andersson
Regie: Frank Corsaro
Scenography: Franco Colavecchia

Sølvguttene
. 19.30 - ca. 22.45

Guerilla-Carmen. Carmen in Latin America with Carmen and the Bandits as guerilla soldiers. Norwegian guest-stars, Anne Gjevang who really was a international star at that point, Kåre Bjørkøy success abroad and at home.

But frankly, does Carmen need up-dating. No. But the production was not bad...
