What happens when a strong-willed, passionate singer like Jean Stilwell becomes identified with a specific operatic role, especially a role like Carmen: the ultimate sensual, powerful woman? What would Carmen and Jean Stilwell talk about, if they met in a café and shared a bottle of wine? In her cabaret show Carmen UnZipped Jean Stilwell and pianist Patti Loach will “unzip” your perceptions about how a traditional opera singer should look and sound and behave. This engaging show - sometimes funny, sometimes sad, but always honest - features the music of Bizet, Arlen and Weill in addition to some new gems from Manhattan's cabaret world.
