This was the best Carmen I have ever seen. From beginning to end, it was absolutely extraordinary. Filled with passion, extreme sensuality combined with the vulnerability of love, and the deep need for freedom resulting in conflict drives this story of life.
Authentic acting, singing talent brought to a modern and relevant level of opera. Worth the trip to Foxboro.
Watching the behind the scenes set up from the crew during intermissions was a great way to be a part of it as though we were being let in on all the secret underpinnings, and it did not distract at all from what would come next. And of course the power of the libretto and music. Relevant and powerful.
This was the best. I haven't stopped talking about it.
