This is a knockout staging of Carmen. The somber entrance of death on horseback was memorable. Kudos for NIkolov and Krasteva for their spell binding performances.
There's a version of Carmen I've been looking for where at the end, the stage turns around and Escamillo is shown with the dead bull on the floor, mirroring Carmen's death and his victory over the bull. The best ending of Carmen I have seen yet
Thank you for another blockbuster production - CARMEN with genuine flamenco singing and dancing at Lilas Patia's! Yes, we don't see these extravaganzas nowadays. Bravo, well done.
De las sopranos más increíbles haciendo el papel de Carmen. Escenario espectacular elenco sublime!!! Micaela una voz hermosa Gracias por esta grabación Un regalo para los sentidos Nada mas que agregar
Vielen Dank für Posten die Opera Carmen in die HH Ich bin stolz dabei gewesen zu sein , habe mich riesig gefreut auch alle meine kamaraden wieder zu sehen und alle anerkannt hier in dies Video war super !! Habe alles wieder erlebt als wäre gestern. DANKESCHÖN LIEBE GRÜSSE DIE HANSA STADT HAMBURG.💯🌹♥️🎶👏
I don't wanna be hateful but i don't think she is singing it right. She is forcing her voice to sound deeper than it actually is and it’s clearly not natural but like the energy tho ☺️
It is such a pity, because all the singers were excellent, with lovely voices and they looked like the role (Carmen was very beautiful and the two men really handsome and believable). But the direction and the acting were very lacking, lifeless and almost amateurial. The soldiers marched nonchalantly, even at the change of guard, when the words (sung by the children) said "shoulders back, chest to the front". They didn't, LOL. Carmen's body language was completely inadequate. She felt like a high-society lady who just plays the seductress for a home theatre Sunday afternoon performance. It's a pity because she had all the physical prerequisites, and the sultry voice to match. (UPDATE: I was shocked to see how much better she was in another production, here. ua-cam.com/video/3h-fP4zSH40/v-deo.htmlsi=Ao1I3X0j3t9l2MUm How much more "active", comfortable with her body... Unfortunately the other video didn't have a performance date, so I don't know whether it was from the same period or after, but the difference was obvious!) Don José looked bored or slightly annoyed most of the time, and when he first meets Micaela, he seems to view her with distaste - I first thought it was a directorial idea, but then he actually gave her a romantic kiss at the end, so he wasn't supposed to find her repulsive after all. The director of course was the main culprit. Most notably, he didn't know how to move crowds, which is crucial in this particular opera. Especially the scene at Lilas Pastia's was almost embarrassingly static and boring - not once did I feel the crescendo of drunken gaiety and joie de vivre. And because the people couldn't express anything with their bodies, they just rotated some toreador capes? What? Come on!
I googled the information based on "Krasteva" and "Brno Ernst" (the conductor's name). The performance which you preferred occurred in 2005. If she seemed less energetic, my guess is she got bored after performing Carmen for whole year.

Hallo, ich habe auch mitgespielt. 😊❤❤😍😍👍👍
Muy buena; gracias por compartirlo.
Linda puesta y bien cantada. Pobre Escamillo!!! Un clavel rebelde le quedó en el cabello. Tenía el mismo peinado de Carmen😅😅
Thank's
The singer looks and moves like I imagine as a Carman.

fake 4k . Too low quality for viewing.

I disagree. That's her voice, and a great voice it is for Carmen.

Nudne.
Good and bad in this production. The worst is the terrible collection of poor French accents.
