Bite-Sized Opera: Just A Taste Of Carmen

Every Card Tells a Story. Every Choice Has a Consequence.

Join Creative OPERAtions and 3BR Distillery for Bite-Sized Opera: Just a Taste of Carmen, an unforgettable evening of music, storytelling, cocktails, and community. Co-produced by Creative OPERAtions and 3BR Distillery, this original adaptation reimagines Bizet's Carmen through the symbolism of tarot, creating an intimate theatrical experience unlike any other.

Doors open at 6:30 PM, giving guests time to enjoy handcrafted cocktails and settle in before the performance begins at 7:00 PM. The evening opens with a 20-minute recital of Spanish-inspired vocal music that draws you into the passion, mystery, and romance of Carmen. After intermission, experience a one-hour adaptation in which each of the opera's four principal characters is represented by a tarot card, revealing the beliefs, choices, and unseen forces that shape their destiny. As music, narration, and tarot imagery intertwine, fate ultimately reveals the final card.

Whether you're discovering opera for the first time or returning to a beloved masterpiece, this immersive performance offers an engaging and approachable experience in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. Sip a handcrafted cocktail, settle in with friends, and experience passion, love, betrayal, and fate through some of opera's most unforgettable music.

But the story doesn't end with the final card. Every choice has a consequence—and every act of generosity has the power to change someone's story. Throughout the evening, guests will have the opportunity to support Creative OPERAtions' Feed the Soul initiative, helping bring free concerts, shared meals, and meaningful artistic experiences to our neighbors facing food insecurity.
