The Abuja Metropolitan Music Society (AMEMUSO) in conjunction with the Transcorp Hilton Hotel and the Embassies of France and Germany presented a Nigerian adaptation of the opera Carmen by George Bizet at the Congress Hall of the Transcorp Hotel on Monday 16th November 2009. Starring and directed by Chilean soprano Maria Cecilia Toledo and co-performed with the Abuja Metropolitan Society, the cast of the star-studded opera included Nigerian soprano Omo Bello, German tenor Wolfram Meyer, American baritone Derrick Lawrence, and Nigerian baritone James Tom Agahyande. The accompanying music was performed by the Europera ensemble composed of Walter Michael Vollhardt (conductor, German), Mikatamura-Winklmeier (violoncello, Japan), Delphine Roche (flutist, France), Dominik Hormuth (pianist, Germany), and Sylvia Oelkrug (violinist, Germany). The show was sponsored by Julius Berger Nigeria, Equinox Group, Momo, Total, Rochas Foundation and Lufthansa to mention just a few.
The standing room only performance was one of the more interesting events that took place in Abuja recently.
