David Francisco and I are going to be performing our CarmenCo concert/play for Rhymney Valley Music Club, generously supported by Night Out Wales.
CarmenCo is more than a concert: It occupies the borders between a play and a concert, with 80/20
music to spoken word. It is a concert of Spanish and Spanish inspired music presented as a play,
with costumes, props and a storyline which roughly follows the story of Bizet’s opera Carmen,
but told from her point of view. Dare you consult the cards with her? What does she think of the
men in her story? Did she foresee her gruesome ending? And does she like the opera Bizet wrote
about her?More information and ticket link to be found on the concert series website.
