'Carmen: The Graphic Novel' drops Dec. 13 and opera officials hope it will generate revenues and entice readers to see live performances.
On Dec. 13, “Carmen: The Graphic Novel,” based on arguably the most famous opera ever written, will be released through Amazon.
The hope is that “Carmen: The Graphic Novel” will appeal to non-opera fans, who might become interested enough to venture into the theater. “As an industry we were trying to connect with people outside of our traditional” setting, Specter explained. So he bought no less than 20 books on how to write a comic book script and Googled graphic novel artists. Russell’s name came up. When he reached out to the popular award-winning comic book creator and told him what he was doing, Russell offered to do the illustrations.
“He’s got a massive following and legacy. Just his involvement meant success,” Shrader said. “No matter what happens with the book, it is going to be seen.” “It’s hard to get 829 people to a full run of an opera in some cases,” Specter said. “When you see a project like this take off, it tells you the spirit of entrepreneurship is still alive.”
