Marianne Crebassa’s new album celebrates her French-Spanish roots. Centered around French composers taking inspiration from Spain and Spanish composers, Seguedilles is a mix of opera arias and songs from composers Bizet, Massenet, de Falla, Mompou, Offenbach, Guridi, Ravel, and Saint-Saëns. It features hits such as the “Habanera” from Bizet’s Carmen and Falla’s “Vivan los que rien” from La Vida breve. 

Crebassa portrays five strong female characters: Carmen, Dulcinée, Concepción, Périchole, and Salud. She recorded the album with the Choeur et Orchestre National du Capitole de Toulouse, conducted by Ben Glassberg.
