The Miller-Porfiris Duo offers a live musical performance to a screening of a little-known film gem by Charlie Chaplin. A Burlesque on Carmen is from 1915, Chaplin's humorous and sweet interpretation of dramatic material. Chaplin himself plays one of the main characters, the soldier Don José while Edna Purviance plays Carmen. The music is taken from Bizet's opera, but the arrangement for violin and viola is by Rita Porfiris.
