From the KPBS weekend arts preview: The music in Bizet's opera "Carmen" is provocative, moody and gloriously showboating. It's also distinct, familiar (and used in a ton of commercials): from the "Prélude" to Carmen's "Habanera" to "Sortie d'Escamillo." NPR called it Bizet's "hit parade" on par with "West Side Story." (Warning: that link is pure earworm.) The opera is set in Spain, about a gypsy, Carmen, and a soldier, Don José, embroiled in tragic seduction and jealousy. Pacific Lyric Association is bringing the production to the California Center for the Arts in Escondido this weekend, in three performances. "Carmen" is an "opera comique," which generally means the plot is progressed with both song and dialogue between songs, and PLA also uses narration of their own, in English, before major scenes to help explain what's going on. If opera intimidates you, this one might be your gateway. Additional performances will take place next weekend, Oct. 21-23, at the Joan B. Kroc Theater. —Julia Dixon Evans, KPBS From the organizers: Pacific Lyric Association (PLA) presents Georges Bizet’s opera Carmen from October 14-23, 2022. The performance will feature an exceptionally talented team of cast and artistic staff who will perform the opera comique that tells of the downfall of Don Jose, a naïve soldier seduced by the fiery gypsy, Carmen. PLA is donating 20% of the production’s proceeds to Ukrainian refugee families with children living in Poland. PLA is an independent Southern California opera company that present fully staged operas with orchestra, accessibly priced to the general public. The signature format of PLA’s opera productions includes spoken narrative in English before each large scene. These narrative vignettes, performed by a professional actor, are designed to keep the audience engaged without being distracted by super titles.

Joseph Bellows Gallery is pleased to announce its upcoming group exhibition, San Diego Views. Based on the regional twelve print portfolio published by Photographs Incorporated, the exhibition will feature the portfolio in the gallery’s atrium space while expanding and giving context to the artists’ work with an extended group show in the main gallery. This unique exhibition will run May 2 to Jun. 10, with an opening reception Friday, May 6 from 5–8 p.m. San Diego Views showcases the photographic work of scott b. davis, John Hogan, Suda House, Adriene Hughes, Farrah Karapetian, Stephen Arthur Milner, Michael Mulno, Han Nguyen, Philipp Scholz Rittermann, Paul Turounet, Rebecca Webb, and Joe Yorty. Rather than attempting to define a particular local style or shared thematic concern, the diverse pursuits of the participating artists provide a spectrum to view and celebrate contemporary photography in San Diego. Though each of the twelve photographers approaches the medium differently, their objectives are realized with care and an astute rendering of the photographic object itself, conveying the printed picture's specific meanings and inherent qualities. San Diego Views offers the unique perceptions of each artist by defining a particular subject within the wide-ranging field of their elected medium. San Diego Views will be on display during the Medium Festival of Photography to support local photographers. For more information, please visit the gallery’s website at www.josephbellows.com.
