It is not for nothing that this year “Carmen” was chosen for the opera in the quarry: the opera is considered one of the most performed and popular in the world. This year it will be staged for the fourth time in Quarry St. Margareten – more on this in the first details on ‘Carmen’ in the Quarry and ‘Carmen: the classic as a crowd puller’.
The first crew for Carmen is the Canadian-Lebanese artist Joyce El-Khoury. She has performed at major international opera houses in London, Madrid and Sydney. She has already appeared in various roles in the operas “Carmen”: she sang Frasquita at the Metropolitan Opera in New York and Micaela in Santa Fe, but made her debut as the title character Carmen. Allessandro Camera designed the stage design in St. Margarethen, costumes by Carla Ricotti.
