The Australian cast of CARMEN at
the German-Australian Opera Fest
David Kram - Conductor
The music is challenging, to a certain extent a "musical pastiche" with many alternating styles and forms of expression: dances, dramatic dialogues, Lieder and folk songs, arias and recitatives - a potpourri of the late 19th century.
Sharon Kempton as Micaela
Micaela with her middle-class values of reason, family, security and respectability is anchored at the other end of the spectrum to Carmen, who stands for passion, freedom and social independence.
Emma Person as Frasquita
This Frasquita is tragic and funny. She is not unalike the colourful "ladies" a person might see in the early morning hours around Sydney's Kings Cross.
Angus Wood as Dancairo
A comical figure from the tradition of the "Opera comique", the parody of an unrespectable petty criminal. A smuggler from the infamous milieu surrounding Carmen.
