    This startlingly inventive troupe juggles genres as easily as objects, weaving theater, dance, physical comedy, and juggling into a creative and infectious entertainment experience. Based in Olympia Washington the Mud Bay Jugglers work their choreographic and juggling magic to lively music for a mesmerizing and emotional performance. Since 1980, these master of levity - Doug Martin, Alan Fitzthum, and Harry Levine - have captivated audiences of all ages at theaters, universities, festivals and events through out the United States and Canada. About the only thing predictable about their constantly evolving material is that there will always be plenty of music and mirth - and lots of surprises.

  • Live Cinema: "Carmen" - Royal Opera

    Live Cinema: “Carmen” – Royal Opera

    Gesa Power House Theatre 111 North 6th Avenue, Walla Walla, WA, United States

    The Live Cinema Series continues with a screening of the current production of Carmen by The Royal Opera on Wednesday, April 11 at 6:00 p.m., and again on Sunday, April 15 at 2:00 p.m. This production is filmed live in London and rebroadcast internationally to select screens.

    Carmen is the best-known work by French composer Georges Bizet, and one of the most famous operas in the entire art form – numbers such as the Habanera and the Toreador Song have permeated the popular consciousness as little else has. The opera’s heady combination of passion, sensuality and violence initially proved too much for the stage, and it was a critical failure on its 1875 premiere. Bizet died shortly after, and never learned of the spectacular success his Carmen would achieve: the opera has been performed more than five hundred times at Covent Garden alone.

    This ever-popular opera is given a fresh point of view in Barrie Kosky’s highly physical production, originally created for Frankfurt Opera. The Australian director is one of the world’s most sought-after opera directors, whose Royal Opera debut with Shostakovich’s The Nose in 2016 was greeted with delight. For Carmen he has devised a far-from-traditional version, incorporating music written by Bizet for the score but not usually heard, and giving a new voice to the opera’s endlessly fascinating central character.

    For this production, Jakub Hrůša conducts the following cast:

    MORALÈS - Gyula Nagy
    MICAËLA - Kristina Mkhitaryan
    DON JOSÉ - Francesco Meli
    ZUNIGA - David Soar
    CARMEN - Anna Goryachova
    FRASQUITA - Jacquelyn Stucker
    MERCÉDÈS - Aigul Akhmetshina
    ESCAMILLO - Kostas Smoriginas
    DANCAÏRO - Pierre Doyen
    REMENDADO - Jean-Paul Fouchécourt
    VOICE OF CARMEN - Claude de Demo

    This screening runs approximately 3 hours 50 minutes including one intermission and an onscreen introduction.

    NOTE: Carmen is sung in French with English surtitles. 

    Reserved seating tickets ($15 Adults, $10 Students/Youth) are available online or by calling the box office at 509-529-6500. For group ticket sales, please call 509-876-1662.
