We will be seeing the last dress rehearsal – sung in French with English subtitles.
Carmen is desirable, defiant, and driven. She thinks nothing of charming a soldier to escape a spot of trouble—never imagining that he would abandon his childhood sweetheart and desert his post to follow her. But Don José is a jealous lover, and as Carmen begins a new relationship with the bullfighter Escamillo, his passion turns dark—and deadly.
Bizet’s masterpiece arrives onstage in a brand-new production drenched in Spanish Gothic splendor, created by director/designer Thaddeus Strassberger. Domingo Hindoyan opens his inaugural season as Music Director with one of the world’s most iconic scores.

We will have a guided tour that lasts approximately 1 hour. Yanks Air Museum hosts one of the world’s largest aircraft collections, most of them airworthy. Painstakingly rebuilding these titans of American aviation history is hard work, with mechanics and craftsmen working by hand (sometimes for decades) to return craft to their original state. They have more than 200 aircraft here from a Wright flyer (the only replica) to jet era aircraft. There is even a lunar lander trainer, space and air travel uniforms, and more. As part of the tour the students will get a chance to go into the Restoration hangar to see the work of restoring these aircraft to museum quality and visit what they call The Boneyard, which is where they store all the aircraft which will eventually be restored. They can also offer an open cockpit experience where they open an aircraft allowing the students to sit in the pilot seat.
