North Carolina Opera Day Trip
Sunday October 18, 2026
Raleigh Memorial Hall – Raleigh, NC
Registration Fee: $229
Register for Bizet's Carmen
A passion that burns with desire and ignites a dangerous flame in Bizet’s CARMEN. When a fiercely independent woman pulls a soldier into her orbit, obsession spirals into jealousy, betrayal, and tragedy. Packed with bold melodies and irresistible rhythms, this fiery story of seduction and destruction blazes all the way to its unforgettable final moment. Performed in French with English translations projected above the stage.
North Carolina Opera day trip participants will enjoy a continental breakfast at check-in, comfortable motorcoach transportation, premier seating, an amazing three-course meal at a Raleigh area restaurant, and a snack served on the return trip.
