SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY — On the weekend of Oct. 19 and 20, the Performing Arts Center San Luis Obispo (PAC SLO) was transported to 1820s Seville, Spain, for Opera San Luis Obispo’s (OperaSLO) production of Georges Bizet’s famous opera “Carmen.” The production tells the fated story of gypsy Carmen, who first seduces the soldier Don Jose before then falling in love with bullfighter Escamillo. The story is one of drama and tragedy, and it unfolded over four acts with beautiful sets, memorable music, and an extremely talented cast.
