Opera Orlando to Stream ‘Carmen’ Via WUCF TV

By David Salazar

Opera Orlando has announced that it will be teaming up with WUCF TV for an encore presentation of “Carmen.”

The showcase is set to take place on May 2, 2021 starting at 1 p.m.

The famed opera was directed by Sara E. Widzer and conducted by Kelly Kuo with a cast headlined by mezzo Brianna Hunter in the title role, with tenor Noah Stewart as Don José, soprano Brittany Renee as Michaëla, and baritone Norman Garrett as Escamillo.

“Artistically this year has been intense and exciting for us, not only navigating COVID-19 and producing live theater indoors, but also translating our stage productions into cinematic events,” states executive director Gabriel Preisser. “It is amazing to me how different each experience of the shows is. I am so pleased our audiences can now enjoy our acclaimed, high-quality original productions in person, online, or both. Carmen was so electrifying on stage and has translated beautifully to the screen.”

WUCFTV is the sole-service PBS member station for Central Floridians. Audiences can check out the stream directly on WUCF TV’s official website (though there is region locking; to overcome this obstacle, learn more here).
