Cincinnati Opera Rap - The Novice's Guide to Carmen



Cincinnati Opera Chorus Master, Henri Venanzi, introduces Carmen in this Opera Rap, as seen through the eyes of the chorus. His anecdotes are funny and memorable. Bizet's Carmen will be performed by Cincinnati Opera on July 22, 24 and 26. Henri Venanzi began his work with Cincinnati Opera as Chorus Master in 1974. A graduate of the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music, Henri is in demand as an accompanist and vocal coach, has performed in Carnegie Hall, recorded with Martina Arroyo, and appeared on The Tonight Show with Kathleen Battle. For more information about Carmen visit the Cincinnati Opera website.
