Twilight: Dust and Desire - before Carmen
Ahead of singing the title role in Opera North’s new production of Bizet’s Carmen in Spring 2011, mezzo-soprano Heather Shipp and pianist Robert Houssart evoke the exoticism and the danger that go hand in hand with the opera. Heather's personal selection of songs includes Astor Piazzolla's sultry tangoes about hot Buenos Aires nights and the bars where men carry knives, as well as the rural Spain of da Falla and the raw folk melodies of Matyas Seiber.
