At least this man. Her great voice, acting and dancing attained a level of dramatic perfection in live from the met Sunday. She was so at herself she smoothly rescued Roberto's clutzy mis-coordinations, as with the handcuffs, without missing a beat. I cannot imagine a greater Carmen than Elina Garanca's performance. I will gladly see this performance again if it is offered.
Never noticed the 4 hour 50 minute length of this production. It passed in a flash. This is a great fusion of live performance presented with movie technology. I agree that these live at the met performances are better than being at the Met in NY.
