I saw Carmen a few times during my life. Different production and actors, singers. This one impressed me with quality of acting and singing, good decoration. After all it is MET. One thing that spoil the performance or I would say a copy of that, is distortion on the screen. Almost all actress and actor is unproportionally distorted width wise. Carmen should be a thin girl, same is Michaela. They are shown as overweight ladies. Jose is also short and wide in torso. Many dancers the same. It would be nice, if that defect of screen showing will be corrected. The music is as always stunning.
