Hamilton Theater's Grand Operas in Cinema series concludes for the season with Georges Bizet's classic opera Carmen on Sunday, Feb. 21 at 2 p.m.

Set in Seville, Spain in the mid-19^th century, Carmen is the story of a beautiful gypsy who loves only those who don't love her. Initially not well received, Carmen became and still is one of the most famous and popular works in the opera repertoire.

Performed at Teatro alla Scala in Milan, Italy, this production features a new generation of opera stars, including the German tenor Jonas Kaufmann, the Uruguayan baritone Erwin Schrott, the Italian soprano Adriana Damata and the newest revelation Georgian mezzo-soprano Anita Rachvelishvli.

This is the sixth opera in Hamilton Theater's Grand Operas in Cinema series. Operas are presented in high definition digital image and surround sound. Guests are invited to enjoy intermissions at the Mad Arts Gallery adjacent to the theater, featuring complimentary wine, beer and refreshments, hosted by the Colgate Inn.
