Mini Opera, Carmen

After the Taiwan trip in late October 2011, I immediately got into another big project of the opera "Carmen". Since it was an hour-long performance, the opera was performed with a reduced version, with the narrator based on the original novel written by Prosper Mérimée. It was a tough performance as the budget and resources were very tight, but it's a good experience. It was my first time conducting opera and it took lots of work, yet learn so much!
