Several Twin Cities Theater Bloggers attended Carmen under the stars at Mill City Summer Opera. A "Raintermission" as Cherry and Spoon named it, shortened the the experience, but it was still wonderful.
"There's nothing quite like sitting outdoors in a beautiful setting listing to a chorus of amazing singers accompanied by an orchestra of amazing musicians, watching them tell a story with energy and passion despite the oppressive heat." http://bit.ly/cs_carmen Cherry and Spoon

"A true masterpiece by Georges Bizet, Carmen has everything you love in opera (or any good story to be honest) - high drama, romance, swashbuckling masculinity, memorable themes, lyrical arias, and the sexiest damn singers you ever did see. It's like a pirate ship for music, how can you go wrong?" https://bit.ly/2L6mf7J Compendium - Minneapolis
