I've always thought so too. From the moment she enters the "room", she exudes flirtatiousness and seems like she's great fun to be around.. Men have a hard time resisting that, which was what made Carmen a *femme fatale*. Literally!
Definitely my kind of Carmen, and the most convincing and sensible Cherubino I've found so far (Agnes Baltsa was my first choice, but Maria Ewing totally won my heart). I discovered this amazing singer earlier today just to learn she passed away a few days ago. I simply cannot stop listening to her, and lost count of how many times I played her magnificent performance of Voi Che Sapete. I'm pretty sure if Mozart himself could hear her performance he would fall in love. She is brilliant, and just won another fan of opera. Rest in peace, angel in human form.
Прекрасная Мария!!! Очень жаль, что рано покинули наш грешный земной мир.......😢😢😢😢😢😢Однако, в мире высокого Искусстве Вы остались навсегда!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
OH JOyous day! Dear God! Brava Maria! Absolutely one of the best Carmen. Such an actress, mama mia! Wonderful direction and production as well.Bravi to all! THank you!
Yo hace poco qué la descubrí en el papel de Querubino y quedé enamorada de como canta y actua, hace creible el personaje una verdadera maravilla. No sabía qué havía fallecido qué descanse en paz.
me flipa, esos tresillos que dan sensualidad a la voz que bonito! y ese ritmo de habanera , ella es una buena intérprete y el coro se escucha a la justa medida , no como en otras interpretaciones que se escucha más de lo debido.
Hi Maria - I was hoping to find a way to see how you are - I think I am in this clip behind you there at the table somewhere. You look fabulous as usual but I don't have earphones at the moment to hear all these clips. Getting set up bit by bit with these things! Would like to stay in touch. Best regards and wishes. Anne Aldridge - soprano
@Dusty Grady She certainly does (look like her mother). You have poor vision. I hope Rebecca has inherited her beautiful mother's great talent as well.
As Callas said in an interview (paraphrase) Carmen takes the role of the man; i.e., she picks out the potential lover and decides whether or not the connection is going to be made, it doesn't work both ways. She's the one who decides.
I love her singing! What a voice!! :) The pronunciation is a little strange in spots. I think those two were planned like that for emphasis. She seems to be able to pronounce them fine elsewhere. :/ PS. - cordoor36, bondjou was writing in French. Potentially because it is hard to identify questionable pronunciation if you haven't been exposed to a language much.
Finally!!! A Carmen who actually acts like a Carmen! Most of them look bored on stage, but this one is having fun! Great voice and acting 5**

Maria was known and regarded for bringing both powerhouse acting and singing skills to the table. Love that about her.
Голос аж до мурашек пробирает своим тембром и сенсуальными интонациями!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I have the dvd where she is Cherubino, and it's just perfect, how she expressed her love and despair
Amazing singer and a great actress
Anche una grintosa e spiritosa Rosina nel Barbiere di siviglia 1982 su youtube nella quale l'ho scoperta per caso.
Прекрасная Мария!!! Очень жаль, что рано покинули наш грешный земной мир.......😢😢😢😢😢😢Однако, в мире высокого Искусстве Вы остались навсегда!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The perfect Carmen in every way. Also the perfect Cherubino. She's inspiring
I agree!
i agree !!!
And she sings Rosina very well too 👏.
This is the best Carmen artistically and her voice is the perfect one ...
R.I.P. Maria! A beautiful soul who brought a talented daughter too.
RIP Maria Ewing . Beautiful Carmen has left us 😪
what a powerhouse. So natural, so intimidating, so free. Bravo!
Потрясающий по звучанию голос!!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wow, this is the best Carmen, and I've seen a number of great ones. She is so expressive in her singing and she acts so well.
the best interpretation of carmen
She was an amazing opera singer and actress! She’s gorgeous and her daughter is beautiful and a talented actress!
Piena di grinta , trasmette una energia esplosiva. Grandi capacità interpretative nonché vocali. Ogni ruolo lo fa suo e ci si immedesima in pieno.❤🎶💎🌹
Among the versions I've seen this is the one with the best acting. Others are whether too aggressive or too soft, but that one's on point.
It is like Carmen was written for her voice. Maria is, in my oppinion, the BEST Carmen ever.
OH JOyous day! Dear God! Brava Maria! Absolutely one of the best Carmen. Such an actress, mama mia! Wonderful direction and production as well.Bravi to all! THank you!
beautiful aria! watched this in music appreciation. shes one of the best singers to portray carmen!
love it!
Maria Ewing is the very very best! I have the same version on dvd...i love it so...
Very good acting and singing
R.I.P. Maria Ewing, my favourite Carmen
So beautiful and so expressive. I just found out this is Rebecca Halls mother - a talented family ❤️
She is the best Carmen! Love her interpretation!
I absolutely love her
Extraordinariamente sublime.💃🌹💖
One of the best, most passionately beautiful Carmen.
Apprezzo molto Maria Ewing è molto brava. Ho avuto modo di apprezzarla anche in altre opere fra cui il Barbiere di Siviglia di Rossini.
Мария - прекрасная певица и актриса. И у неё очень колоритная внешность.
Seductive without ever being over the top! She's so control of her voice and her acting. So amazing :O
QUÉ PASIÓN !!!..... VAYA ENERGÍA QUÉ TIENE MARIA WOW!!!💋❤❤❤
I will miss her--she was natural and became the part she was to play. Talent-- look it up and Maria Ewing's picture is there!
I first saw Maria Ewing in a Sky Television production of Carmen many years ago. There is no-one better.
Il n'y a pas de mots pour décriver la beauté de "Carmen" de Bizet!!!
SIMPLEMENT EXCELLENT!
Это бельканто от бога. Меццо+ контральто 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻🍷🍷🍷
Como é linda essa cantora! Diferente! E interpreta muito bem!
Yo hace poco qué la descubrí en el papel de Querubino y quedé enamorada de como canta y actua, hace creible el personaje una verdadera maravilla. No sabía qué havía fallecido qué descanse en paz.
Obrigado pela postagem! :-)
If someone does not recognize the subtitled language, that is Portuguese, the 5th language more spoken in the world. ;-)

straordinaria non la conoscevo, ma la trovo perfetta. CARMEN!!!
She is British actress Rebecca Hall's mom... Talented family.
*born & raised in Detroit Michigan
Maria Ewing and Julia Migenes are the best! 🌺🌺🌺👍
como é que alguém consegue cantar e atuar tão bem ao mesmo tempo?
Ela é a própria Carmen *-*
me flipa, esos tresillos que dan sensualidad a la voz que bonito! y ese ritmo de habanera , ella es una buena intérprete y el coro se escucha a la justa medida , no como en otras interpretaciones que se escucha más de lo debido.
Bravo. Interpretación y voz muy en el perfil del personaje
I like the masculinity she brings to this Carmen!! Its truly interesting...
She's always been my favorite Carmen.
Just beautiful!!!!
The best Carmen ever!
La mejor Carmen y el mejor Querubino❤️
I watch Maria sing every so often 😂❤
Many great artists have sung Carmen but none have come close to Maria Ewing's performance. We both grew up in the Detroit area in the early '50s.
Maria Ewin... The Greatest Carmen of all
The real one
R.I.P. Mrs Ewing.
Rest in peace melodic angel ❤️
Maria Ewing really is the best Carmen.
The sexiest, most captivating Carmen in history!
That would be Julia Migenes-Johnson... but Maria Ewing is also excellent.
she is goooood.
really a discovery for me, this singer.
RIP Maria Ewing.
Muito bom! Valeu pelas legendas em português.
Simplesmente fantástico!!!
Mamma mia, quanta bellezza!!!
1- Callas
2-Bartoli
3-Ewing.
Que performance magnífica!!!
She is great!
What a beauty! What PIPES!
i love singing with her carmen habanera is my favourite

Inigualável. Muito estudo foi necessário para atingir tal grau de perfeição.
Maria Ewing is Rebecca Hall's Mother
Infinite Sky Rebecca looks like her a lot!
@Dusty Grady She certainly does (look like her mother). You have poor vision. I hope Rebecca has inherited her beautiful mother's great talent as well.
The first famous black opera singer!
RIP. ❤
Wonderful Carmen portrayal!
i freaking love this opera
hsthoward: don't worry about that....and Maria is a fantastic Carmen! If she would tell me "je t'aime" sure I could understand:-))
magnifique bravo bravo et bravo
htshoward: Thank you and I also wish you all the best for 2009!
Simplemente genial
Interpretação épica.... gloriosa....
She is excellent.
I can’t believe this was the inspiration for Beauty and the Beast
Bravoo !!! Bravoo !!!! 5*****
I think Denyce Graves and Maria Ewing perform Carmen the best! This is a simply beautiful performance. :D
Descanse em paz gde artista
The Diction! She ate this.
i just wanna say "niu bi"! amazing carmen!!!
Would the subtites were in English... but what great acting/singing. She is a very good Carmen.... was a pretty good Salome, too.
Love it
Finally a version that, to me, can actually rival that of Diva Supreme, Maria Callas
But Callas never did it on stage, unfortunately.
Gran Carmen!!!!
А как она исполнила роль Керубино в фильме Поннеля! Не забыть.
Wooooool mto show! rs

It's the first time I've heard of such a habanera
Tenho este vídeo. Ótimo.
Masterful
Haha. I told her, and she that was very sweet.
Maria is the best Carmen ever… Маша - чудо, чистая любовь…
Mine too!! :)
Maria Ewing atua como ninguém!!!
Oi. Sim uma Carmen excelente.
🇧🇷💚💛🇵🇹
Subtitles in Portuguese.
Boa opera.
i am in looove
