Best Performed Carmen Ever
PostedMay 5, 2010

from DIAMOND BAR, CA
I've studied the music from Carmen since the age of 9 and have seen many productions of the opera over my 69 years. This was the best performed version of the opera I've ever seen. The cast is wonderful and the production is acceptable even though not a Zeffirelli. Elina owns this role; Alagna was very charming and sang well in spite of a cold; the Escamillo was terrific as all the minor roles - all performed extremely well with great voices. Dancing also was well done. Stunning, stunning production and performance! THIS IS A DON'T MISS!! Bring a younger person to this one - they will love it!! The best DVD is movie with Placido Domingo and Julia McGinnis.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Enchanting!

As a long time opera fan and a particular fan of the Met, I've attended almost all the performances simulcast in the past three seasons and wish everyone knew about these amazing broadcasts, particularly students in college so the audience can broaden to younger people. It is word of mouth that must be used as no publicity to speak of. This Lucia had a superb cast with wonderful voices, production, conductor, orchestra - all top drawer!! I may attend the encore performance as well! Please tell your friends to try just one and they'll be glad they did! Better than any movie! "American Idol" this is what real singing is!
Yes, I recommend this movie.
