(2) YA Myers's adaptation of Bizet's opera, written as a play with occasional arias, is set in contemporary Spanish Harlem: Carmen works in a wig factory, José's a cop, Micaela dreams of being a teacher, toreador Escamillo is a rapper-turned-mogul. The libretto is dramatic and passionate, spiced with funny repartee. An excellent note by Myers is appended, along with melody lines for the songs.
