Westminster College Opera Workshop students faculty will present "The Legend of Carmen," Saturday, Oct. 30, at 7:30 p.m. in Orr Auditorium.

 The story centers around two men, Don Jose and Escamillo, who are both in love with a gypsy named Carmen.  Through imprisonment, carousing in taverns, bullfights, and smuggling adventures, the audience will follow the escapades of these characters, until a murder brings the story to a tragic and dramatic end. 

 The opera is directed by Dr. Anne Bentz, assistant professor of music, and the Westminster College Orchestra is directed by Mihai Valcu, adjunct music faculty member.  William Turney is Technical director.  The chorus consists of Westminster faculty and students, as well as students of the New Wilmington Middle School.

 The event is free and open to the public.  For more information, contact Bentz, at (724) 946-6045 or e-mail bentzah@westminster.edu.
