The naive young man gives up everything for her, leaving his former love, rebelling against his superiors and joining a gang of smugglers. This is a special American story and it is worthy of our support.The Met's "Carmen": Bizet's Fiery Tale of Revengeįilled with passion, jealousy, drama and death, Georges Bizet's classic opera "Carmen" revolves around a beautiful but hot-tempered Spanish gypsy girl who seduces a young corporal named Don José. “Central City Opera is a unique, landmark festival with a jewel of an opera house. It is even more exciting now than it was in the 1950s.” She has made significant gifts to CCO to honor her father. Phebe returned to Central City after nearly 50 years and found that “Central City didn’t disappoint. She went on to work at Paris Opera, San Francisco Opera and then, from 1971-1988, as Executive Stage Manager for the Metropolitan Opera. Phebe went on to study opera at Indiana University and then was hired by the Hamburg Opera in Germany. In Central City, Phebe learned how to listen and appreciate opera as an art form. She and the other kids-children of CCO staff, singers, orchestra performers, etc.-would then put on their own productions of the operas. She and the other kids would watch every opera rehearsal, memorizing all the songs (at the time in CCO’s history, all the operas were in English). Phebe spent every summer for 10 years in Central City.
