A Night of Passion and Power

Valentine’s Day weekend, emotions will run high at Hearts Aflame: a dramatic, intoxicating evening of music that thrills and seduces.

At the center of the program are highlights from Bizet’s Carmen Suites Nos. 1 & 2, filled with bold rhythms, unforgettable melodies, and the magnetic spirit of opera’s most iconic heroine. Carmen is fearless, free-spirited, and impossible to ignore—and her story unfolds through music that’s just as unforgettable.

Whether you’re on a date night or flying solo, this is your chance to dive headfirst into a story of love, defiance, and dramatic flair.
