Carmen in Concert: A 50th Anniversary Celebration
December 31, 2026, 7:30 – 9:30 pm
Soreng Theater, Hult Center for the Performing Arts
For decades, Eugene Opera at the Hult Center for the Performing Arts was a cherished New Year's Eve tradition. To celebrate our 50th Anniversary Season, we're bringing it back! Join Maestro Bisantz, the Eugene Opera Orchestra and Chorus, and special guest singers Sandra Piques Eddy (Carmen), Luke Novell (Don José), Zachary Lenox (Escamillo), and Josephyne Patten (Micaëla), for a selection of arias and ensembles from Bizet's beloved opera. Carmen put Eugene Opera on the map 50 years ago — now you're invited to a New Year's Eve concert to celebrate this milestone.
Stay for the festivities after the concert!
