Smouldering song

from Minneapolis, MN
The Metropolitan Opera's production of the popular _Carmen_, starts with flawlessly performed music and singing at its foundation. The Richard Ayres version is gritty in its sensuality and rich in "stage business" to make it the sexiest _Carmen_ with the only competition, Theatre de la Jeune Lune's, with Jennifer Baldwin as the most vulnerable and tender Micaela.
Alina Garanca has a riveting stage presence, a full voice that doesn't fail her even when she's being carried by gypsies or is tumbling with turned-on don José, sung and acted beautifully by Roberto Alagna.
These broadcasts are wonderful and bring opera to us for a mere $20 instead of $200 and more.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
