The starring role of the Spanish gypsy Carmen will be performed by the mesmerizing and evocative Polish mezzo-soprano Magdalena Wor.Known for her rich, seductive mezzo sound perfectly suited to the role of Carmen, Ms. Wor received high acclaim by Virginia audiences as Suzuki in last season’s production of Madame Butterfly. Maestro Peter Mark conducts.
