We at AT&T believe that as we go forward into the 90s, OBT will add to the quality of life in our community and make a significant contribution to the broadening of the population’s appreciation of the arts.” Launching Oregon Ballet Theatre’s 1991-92 season, the world premiere production of “ Carmen” , set to Georges Bizet’s enchanting score, offers a new interpretation of the classic opera of love and vengeance. With choreogra phy by OBT Artistic Direcor James Canfield, the fiery ballet unfolds in a 1920’s Speakeasy, a smoky cabaret club crawling with the likes of A1 Capone- inspired gangsters and gamblers. This bold new production brings together the acclaimed set and costume design team of John and Sandra Woo dall, hailed as two of the West Coast’s most inventive designers.
