      I think this singer is a good example of a high pitch with large resonance. To my completely untrained layperson musical ear, she sounded both high and low at the same time. This video has a good explanation: ua-cam.com/video/RCp-GBdjQuo/v-deo.html

    The thing that is so great about Elina Garanca's Carmen was that she knew how to bring the seductive energy to the character with her voice and acting to the point where it feels real. Carmen is a character who's not only seductive, but she's her own boss and Elina nailed it! This is Tony-winning acting!

      Like Shakespeare, it's not enough to just say the words, you have to properly PERFORM it.
      The Queen of the Night aria from Mozart's the Magic flute is a magnificent feat of vocal gymnastics when merely sung, but PERFORMED, this is a mother making a demand of her daughter with the musical equivalent of "I brought you into this world, and I CAN TAKE YOU OUT OF IT".
      [For prime example look for the UA-cam video of it performed by Diana Damrau, The Royal Opera]
      Carmen is an utterly amoral temptress, wanton and seductive, and she needs to be performed that way.
      Elina Garanca NAILED IT.

      I never saw Matt Damon mopping the floor, but I understand your point. She probably never squezes her clothes at home but she knows. Men never pay attention to washing or mopping except when they are janitors. The production of the film should have had Matt mopping the floor until he learned to do it properly.

      Good support and breath technique is the answer. You only need to stand and plant yourself if you're a beginner. Lots of singers with good support and breath techniques can sing laying down, it happens a lot in rock singing especially. An example would be Maynard James Keenan from Tool and his weird posture in Sober live, and when he once sang a song while wrestling a drunk audience member who invaded the stage.

      Which would be a fair point if he said the acting was much better in the earlier performance, but he didn't, he said it was "more dynamic", whatever that means. Opera is, of course, a balance of acting and singing, wouldn't disagree. To counter your point though, you can listen to an opera on the radio and enjoy it immensely, however you wouldn't get the same pleasure from watching it without sound, regardless of how good the acting is! :)

    I've seen Carmen live a couple of times, and also watched more renditions than I can remember. However, Elina's portrayal of the lead better captures the sultry, mischievous and positively devilish flirting character of Carmen better than any soprano I have seen. It's all in those eyes which are simply mesmerising.

      CptSeagullEight - a lighter voice will not be able to get through the card scene in this opera. Think Julia Migenes-Johnson. She was a fantastic Carmen in the 1980s movie, but she herself said that she couldn't sing this role on stage. (edited to add) Besides - Carmen isn't an ingenue or young lady. She is a vulgar gypsy who works in a cigar or cigarette factory and occasionally helps smugglers by seducing body guards. Lighter voices are better suited for ingenues like Zerlina.

    • @jewelmarkess
      @jewelmarkess 7 років тому +2

      CptSeagull Eight Antonacci has an interesting voice. She actually started as a mezzo soprano and then switched to soprano roles apparently, so she clearly has strong low notes, IMHO. Now, Sarah Brightman would be a joke, she'd not even be heard in soubrette roles which is why I named Migenes-Johnson who has a light soprano voice and mostly performed in musicals, but who nevertheless was able to sing Lulu at the Met to much acclaim. Migenes-Johnson was a nice Carmen in the movie, not sure if you've seen it.

    • @jewelmarkess
      @jewelmarkess 7 років тому +1

      CptSeagull Eight - I was curious about Antonacci, so I read about her. I am not a singer even though I had voice lessons for personal enjoyment when I was already out of college and working. I had a light soprano, but it is way too light for opera. At any rate, I could never sing in public, totally losing it in front of people, maybe only in front of friends in my living room. I don't know much about metal though. Brightman voice is very small, nice timbre but so thin, and yes, she cannot do lower notes.

      +divya sunny Not for me, ok voice but not the best by any means and also playing the role of Carmen requires a sexy temptress whereas Elina looks about as sexy and appealing here as a dried up, starchy middle aged spinster aunt.
      For the all round real deal, go no further than Rinat Shaham, plays the part so perfectly that she really becomes Carmen, in looks , voice and acting ability.

      ​@@lovemetu I imagine the costuming and direction is directly pointing to the fact that the character is of the Romani people, and the director wanted to set Carmen apart very starkly from Don Jose. The class difference is very different, and not always something people take into account as part of the storyline.

    L'amour est un oiseau rebelle
    Que nul ne peut apprivoiser
    Et c'est bien en vain qu'on l'appelle
    S'il lui convient de refuser
    RIen n'y fait, menace ou prière
    L'un parle bien l'autre se tait
    Et c'est l'autre que je préfère
    Il n'a rien dit mais il me plaît
    L'amour (x4)
    L'amour est enfant de bohème
    Il n'a jamais jamais connu de loi
    Si tu ne m'aimes pas je t'aime
    Et si je t'aime prends garde à toi
    Prends garde à toi
    Si tu ne m'aimes pas, si tu ne m'aimes pas je t'aime
    Prends garde à toi
    Mais si je t'aime, si je t'aime prends garde à toi
    L'amour est enfant de bohème
    Il n'a jamais jamais connu de loi
    Si tu ne m'aimes pas je t'aime
    Et si je t'aime prends garde à toi
    Prends garde à toi
    Si tu ne m'aimes pas, si tu ne m'aimes pas je t'aime
    Prends garde à toi
    Mais si je t'aime, si je t'aime prends garde à toi
    L'oiseau que tu croyais surprendre
    Battit de l'aile et s'envola
    L'amour est loin tu peux l'attendre
    Tu ne l'attends plus il est là
    Tout autour de toi vite vite
    Il s'en va puis il revient
    Tu crois le tenir, il t'évite
    Tu crois l'éviter, il te tient
    L'amour (x4)
    L'amour est enfant de bohème
    Il n'a jamais jamais connu de loi
    Si tu ne m'aimes pas je t'aime
    Et si je t'aime prends garde à toi
    Prends garde à toi
    Si tu ne m'aimes pas, si tu ne m'aimes pas je t'aime
    Prends garde à toi
