Emerald City Opera Performs Carmen Carmen by Georges Bizet ACT I. Corporal Morales and the soldiers while away the time watching the passers-by, among whom is Micaela, a peasant girl from Navarre. She asks Morales if he knows Don Jose, and is told that he is a corporal in another platoon, expected shortly. A trumpet call heralds the approach of the relief guard and a gang of street urchins imitating their drill. As the guards change, Morales tells Jose that a girl is looking for him. Zuniga, the lieutenant in command, questions Corporal Jose about the tobacco factory. A stranger in Seville, Zuniga is apprehensive of the dangerous atmosphere. The factory bell rings and the men of Seville gather ‘round the female workers as they return after their lunch break. The gypsy Carmen is awaited with anticipation. When the men gather ‘round her, she tells them love obeys no known laws. Only one man pays no attention to her – Jose. Carmen throws a flower at him. Micaela returns, bringing news of Jose’s mother. She has sent Micaela to give him a letter. When he starts to read her letter, Micaela runs off in embarrassment since it suggests that he marry her. At the moment that he decides to obey, a fight is heard from within the factory. Carmen and one of her fellow workers quarreled and the other girl was wounded. Carmen refuses to answer questions and Jose is ordered to tie her up and take her to prison. Carmen entices him to go dancing at Lillas Pastia’s tavern outside the walls of Seville. Mesmerized, Jose agrees to help her escape. He unties the rope and Carmen slips away. Jose is arrested. ACT II. Carmen and her friends Frasquita and Mercedes entertain Zuniga and the other officers. Zuniga tells Carmen that Jose has been released. A torchlight procession in honor of the bullfighter Escamillo is heard, and the officers invite him in. He describes the excitements of his profession, in particular the amorous rewards that follow a successful bullfight. Escamillo propositions Carmen, but she replies that she is engaged for the moment. He says he will wait. The smugglers Dancaire and Remendado enter. They have business for their regular female

accomplices. Frasquita and Mercedes are game, but Carmen refuses to leave Seville: she is in love. Her friends are incredulous. The smugglers withdraw. Carmen tells Jose that she has been dancing for his officers. When he reacts jealously, she agrees to entertain him alone. Jose says he must return to the barracks. Stupefied, Carmen mocks him, but he answers by producing the flower she threw and telling her how its faded scent sustained his love during the long weeks in prison. But she replies that if he loved her he would desert and join her in a life of freedom in the mountains. When he refuses, she dismisses him contemptuously. As he leaves, Zuniga bursts in. In jealous rage Jose attacks him. The smugglers return, separate them, and put Zuniga under temporary constraint. Jose now has no choice but to desert and join the smugglers. ACT III. The gang enters with contraband. Carmen and Jose quarrel, and Jose gazes regretfully down to the valley where his mother is living. Carmen advises him to join her. The women turn the cards to tell their fortunes: Frasquita and Mercedes foresee rich and gallant lovers, but Carmen’s cards spell death for her and for Jose. She accepts the prophecy. All depart. Micaela appears. She says she fears nothing so much as meeting the woman who has turned the man she once loved into a criminal. But she hides in fear when a shot rings out. It is Jose firing at an intruder, who turns out to be Escamillo, transporting bulls to Seville. When he refers to the soldier whom Carmen once loved, Jose reveals himself and they fight. Carmen and the smugglers return and separate them. Escamillo invites everyone, especially Carmen, to be his guests at the next bullfight in Seville. Micaela begs Jose to go with her to his mother but he refuses. Micaela reveals that his mother is dying. Jose promises Carmen they will meet again. ACT IV Carmen enters the bullfight on Escamillo’s arm. Jose enters and implores Carmen to forget the past and start a new life with him. She says everything between them is over: She was born free and free she will die. While the crowd cheers Escamillo, Jose tries to prevent Carmen from joining her new lover. Carmen loses her temper, removes the ring that Jose once gave her and throws it at his feet. Jose stabs her, then confesses to murdering the woman he loved. – Rodney Milnes

Asleep At The Wheel
Asleep at the Wheel turns 40 this year, and the legendary Western swing band shows no symptoms of slowing down. They’ve recently been awarded the Americana Music Lifetime Achievement Award and nominated for the Best Americana Album Grammy for Willie and the Wheel, their newest collaboration with Willie Nelson. Asleep at the Wheel has nine Grammy Awards under its belt. Asleep at the Wheel has been going strong since Rolling Stone anointed them America’s best country and western band in 1977.
08 Steamboat All Arts Festival
Recently they’ve drawn record crowds by adapting their repertoire for pops symphony performances. But the band has never strayed from the lively mix of big band, country and dance music that was popularized in the 30s and 40s by Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys.

Golden Dragon Acrobats
Saturday, Aug. 21, 3 & 8 p.m. Strings Music Pavilion ““There is a precision and beauty about everything these performers do.” – The Washington Post This is a performance filled with astounding feats and incalculable skill. The Golden Dragons Acrobats blend acrobatics with an eclectic score and dazzling costumes. Precision athletes teeter atop precarious stacks of chairs and twirl parasols with their toes. The performers, many of whom started training as young as four years old, are as limber as rubber bands, agile as cats and strong enough to accomplish unfathomable balancing feats. With mesmerizing spins, balancing, contortionism and seemingly impossible tricks, the ancient art of Chinese acrobatics earned its first fans when powerful emperors took interest 2,500 years ago. Hailing from Hebei, China, the Golden Dragon Acrobats have performed their award-winning choreography in more than 65 countries and all 50 states to widespread acclaim – including six weeks of sold-out performances and two New York Drama Desk nominations during their 2005 Broadway debut.

Emmitt-Nershi Band Emmitt-Nershi Band Steamboat Springs Free Concert Series Friday, Aug. 20, 5:30 p.m. Howelsen Hill
NO dogs or alcohol may be taken into concert. Non-perishable food items or cash donations accepted for Lift Up Food Bank.
As linchpins of two legendary jam-bands – Drew Emmitt with Leftover Salmon and Bill Nershi with the String Cheese Incident – these men exemplify the forward-thinking modern bluegrass musician. They’ve honed their songwriting and playing chops and studied the bluegrass, rock and jazz masters they admire, keeping music humanscaled and honest – qualities found in abundance on their latest collaboration, New Country Blues.
10 Steamboat All Arts Festival
It’s made up of 11 tunes recorded in Colorado, or as they say, “made in Newgrass heaven.” The Emmitt-Nershi Band takes bluegrass from an angle of tradition-rooted experimentation: Their songful moments are balanced by the kind of virtuosic but distinctly un-flashy picking that comes out of experience. It’s a new country, and Drew Emmitt and Bill Nershi are proud to blaze a trail to find it.

Join the Steamboat Springs Arts Council at their Depot Block Party to celebrate the arts. Complete your All Arts Festival weekend with live music by Steamboat Swings Big Band, view the Summer Art exhibit, and delight yourself in food and libation. Over a century ago, the Depot opened its doors to become one of the major cattle shipping points in the West. It served passenger rail traffic until 1968. Fallen into disuse, the Depot was resurrected in 1980 by a group of citizens, headed by Eleanor Bliss, as a community art center and home of the Steamboat Springs Arts Council. The Depot is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Steamboat Swings is a big band made up of musicians from across the Yampa Valley playing music from the swing era to the present. During the Depot Block Party, the Arts Council’s Member Artists’ Show will be on exhibit throughout the galleries. The party is free, and a cash bar and food will be available.
