STAGE DIRECTOR
La Bohème, 2018
"A significant milestone… A futuristic staging that remains grounded in realism, bringing both a new sense of intimacy and an unfamiliar strangeness to the piece. It breathes new vitality into this well-known storyline.” - Auditorium (Korea)
Mahagonny Songspiel /
Der Kaiser von Atlantis, 2019
"Carr set Mahagonny at a United States customs port, circa the 1920's, where hopeful individuals seek a fresh opportunity in a place they imagine to be paradise on earth... By the time the final note was sung, he had successfully pulled off one of the most seamless transitions I've seen between acts, setting the stage for Der Kaiser in a post-apocalyptic world where Emperor Overall rules homicidally from inside the Statue of Liberty's crown." -City Newspaper
Don Giovanni, 2019
L'Incoronazione di Poppea, 2017
Dialogues of the Carmelites, 2014 (Winner, The American Prize for Stage Directing)
