Bizet's Dream

985805899

Originally produced by Victory Studios in 1994

Set in 1875, and featuring music from "Carmen Suites," "L'Arlesienne" and "The Pearl Divers," this historical drama tells the compelling and bittersweet story of the friendship shared by a young Parisian girl named Michelle Marin, and the great composer Georges Bizet, her piano teacher... Michelle (Brittany Madgett) is a talented twelve year-old whose intelligence and resourcefulness are matched only by her extremely active imagination. Bizet (Maurice Godin) is a man of many passions for his family, his artist friends and, most of all, for his music. But each of them is prey to doubts. Michelle wonders if her soldier father will ever return from Spain. Bizet hopes he can rise to the challenge of finishing Carmen, the opera that haunts him. Together, Michelle and Bizet learn that dreams come true only when the time is right and even then in the most surprising ways... **"Best Drama" -ACTA .
