[Tunewill]

[CHOOa11]

RUGGERO is impressive !  just remembered when i watched this in LA back in 2006, i kept looking for his name for over a year ....great performance indeed ! viva Espano

[groch3]

I think I'll remember Carmen's trick with pocket mirror ;)

I hate it when Dracula shows up in my Spain, sings better than me, steals my gypsy girlfriend, and deflates my romanticism. Dracula's a dick!

[pdg1980]

@iwpoe Best comment ever!

[VinuraVinura]

FORMULA 1

[possebonR]

[arere20]

Happy birthday Ruggero!!

The most attractive Escamillio I have ever seen

[radostsguy]

radostsguy@mail.com

[radostsguy]

[jpmessier11]

I'm not an opera fan but I love all types of music. This is perfect. I am gonna find this movie and watch it.

[moimoipeter]

je trouve sa très jolie

[howardmcooper]

i agree, its fantastic, but, to me, it feels a bit too flashy and melodramatic.

[wildmustang67]

For all opera fans : you MUST see this movie !! It's fenomenal !

[conguitowsk]

@wildmustang67 how is it called? can i watch it online?, cuz probably i wouldnt find it for rent

[wildmustang67]

@conguitowsk It's called " Carmen" , I doubt that you can watch it online. You can try to rent it from Netflix, but my best bet is on Ebay - you can buy it , it's totally worth it !

[conguitowsk]

@wildmustang67 thanks a lot, i'll look for it!

[AREGUEYRA]

Extraordinaria interpretación de uno de mis actos preferidos. Excelente técnica y fuerza de los actores. Bravísimo!!!

[Chaserpeach]

Does anyone know where the full movie is on Youtube (if it is)??

[musicalopera93]

look up Justino Diaz with grace bumbry singing this song!! soooo much sex appeal!!!!! 

[LadiLorelei]

Carmen resta sempre un gran opera. E chi ha detto che non umani non siamo in grado di creare un qualcosa di eterno?

[joninho1975]

Still the best version, still watching it long after you added it. Awesome! Prima!

[vincentnala]

è veramente una bella canzone

[spyridon77]

wow his Es seem to be so easy for him....

[nc11000]

Thank you from Russia! This is one of the best performances.

[DefyGravity464]

I love the way he sings "En garde". xD Really, I think this just might be one of my favorite songs, ever.

[crazydrummer99999]

great opera...

[sackray]

el es la ley

[Prancer1231]

odd that an opera about spain is in french

[XxXMewXxX]

@Prancer1231 the play was originally written in french

[HeartGoldMVP]

@Prancer1231 french composer

[asdkotable]

@Prancer1231 Well, Turandot, which is about a Chinese Princess, is in Italian. =P

[MultiDiegoFer]

suena muy bien!...

[zara2255]

Great !!! :)

[mangustabasso]

Qui ci sono 2 estremi!!!io direi un buon cantante con una grande presenza scenica!!ne il migliore ma neanche,per carità un dilettante!!

[ranigema]

@mangustabasso carissimo,un film all americana non vuol dire lirica.

il tuo commento ti tradisce,tu non hai sentito mai la voce di Raimondi dal vivo.

una parte dei fanatici di Raimondi dicono che é il migliore basso del mondo-hihihihihi

quando ero giovane i bassi erano:De Angelis,Neri...

l'altra parte dei fanatici di stesso Raimondi dicono che è il migliore baritono del mondo-hihihihi

quando ero giovane i baritoni erano:Tagliabue,Reali,Bastiani­ni...

rifletti caro che cosa voglio dirti.

[AsineD191]

hermosa hermosa!!!! beautiful song!!! super piosenka! szukałam ją długo, bo się pojawiła w reklamie leku!!

[Sexxistentialist]

[TheDiavolo11]

This is just heaven...è molto bello, questo è più che vità

[Voixdvent]

Toréador, en garde ! Toréador, Toréador !

Et songe bien, oui, songe en combattant

Qu'un œil noir te regarde,

Et que l'amour t'attend,

Toréador, L'amour, l'amour t'attend !

[lucyllebalth80]

Ma quant'è affascinante quest'Escamillo???? *ç*

[aesllsea]

simplemente hermoso!!

[ZsaZsadoll]

Ruggero Raimondi is a beast

[Aetion]

@ZsaZsadoll beast or feast? :)

[MrsPisaroni]

used to have this film on video-someone selling it on Amazon for £99.95!!!! Wish I still had my copy=wouldn't sell it though as I love it too much. Bravo Ruggerio !!

[ElzaFerrer]

Lindo, muito lindo!!

[PhilipineMan]

He telling a story not just in work but thought the pich amplifying the emostions

[esclarmonde1]

Raimondi is Escamillo!

[esclarmonde1]

Raimondi owns this role.

[BaltFret]

we saw it in our music lesson xD

[AlberichNibelungo]

Desde luego Raimondi tiene apostura y capacidad interpretativa. Además ha sido un gran cantante, pero particularmente me quedo con otras interpretaciones antológicas del torero, como por ejemplo, las del imponente barítono americano Lawrence Tibbett. Por otro lado, la voz de Escamillo me la imagino mucho más luminosa, y no tan opaca como la del bajo-barítono italiano (por ejemplo hay una interpretación de Carlos Álvarez en el Festival de Faenol de 2007 que muestra lo que quiero decir). Saludos.

[mimi7505]

SUPERB !

[ColombeDu62]

Absolument merveilleux!!

L♥

[hello111196]

wow

[kaprun100]

"redhead529"

Try to learn a bit of classical music and then judge...clear voice!

[bassfanne45]

@kaprun100 I have quite an extensive background in classical usic and opera in particular. I just don't particularly like Raimondi's voice and interpretation. He's a bit too majestic and not enough of a "rock star" in this role, in my opinion. No offense intended. People, even perople with a classical music background, can disagree on singers and music in ganeral.

[trumpetplayer444]

@bassfanne45 That's because he's singing opera, not classic rock.

[redhead529]

Just about the worst Escamillo I've ever seen!

[Veonika111]

Oh, my God! What a singer! What an Escamillo! What a man! I do believe that Carmen fell in love with THIS toreador. She had no choice :)))

Anyway, this is the best performance. BRAVO!!!

[olusiab]

coś pięknego!

[ZsaZsadoll]

mmm ruggero raimondi ding dong

[USA4July1776]

This is such amazing music, it brings tears to my eyes.

[thumbs70]

this is yummy! Haven't indulged in Carmen 4 abt 10 years.

[kittyblack13]

He is wonderful as Scarpia, too!!!

[jeanmolin55]

Raimondi è il migliore Escamillo di sempre! Per voce, tecnica, coinvolgimento,interpretazione­. Eccezionale! BRAVO !

[ranigema]

@jeanmolin55 Raimondi ? da 70 anni vado nel teatro ne avevo vista dei Escamillo... ma caro Signore ma come non si ricorda i cantanti italiani negli anni 40,50,60? ma come un intenditore cosi sensibile come lei puoi dire parole assurde come: Raimondi è il migliore Escamiglio di sempre? e i grandi bassi e baritoni del passato dove gli mettiamo allora? Raimondi cantante? hihihihihihi quando mi ricordo la preparazione del pubblico negli anni 40,50,60 voi ragazzi siete davvero s o r d i!

[jeanmolin55]

@ranigema Premetto che non sono Signore ma solo uno spettatore da loggione. Al contrario di Lei, non vado a teatro da 70 anni avendone soltanto 55. Questa Carmen è un film del 1984 e in quell’epoca soltanto R.R. poteva sostenere il ruolo di Escamillo in maniera degna! Poi attendiamo sino al magnifico d'Arcangelo al Covent Garden. Se però Lei accetta in scena un toreador che canta in una lingua diversa dall’originale Francese si trovano Franci e il grande Bechi, ma cantavano in Italiano!

[ranigema]

@jeanmolin55 per me Raimondi era un dilettante,aveva una voce brutta e gridava come un venditore di pesce.

dal vivo era cosi.cantava come basso purtroppo non aveva la voce di basso, come baritono dal vivo la sua voce era o r r e n d a.

sono molto sorpresa del suo commento,e di piu lei é uno spettatore da loggione?

i tempi cambiano,anche "il gusto"...

io per il rispetto preferisco il s i l e n z i o.

[bodiloto]

@jeanmolin55 senza dubbio...ahahahahahahahahahaha­h

Signore,gridare con tutta la forza ignorando la bellezza artistica questo non vuol dire interpretazione!

Un grande artista lirico non canta mai con tutta la voce !

Un grande Artista si serve dei colori della sua voce/inesistenti nella bruttissima voce di Raimondi/per "entrare"nel personaggio.Gridare non vuol dire cantare.

Ah,negli anni 50-60 mi ricordo gli Artisti che interpretavano Escamillo,accanto a loro Raimondi e un buffone.

Con rispetto

[LifeJuice90]

The only person who should sing this role. Bravo Ruggero Raimondi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

[julianoverend]

Yes Torres you are absolutely right.

[torres090]

On the old times in Spain the Torero has been called Toreador. So, the name of the bullfighter is correct, Torero and Toreador it's right used.

[javo41183]

toreador es igual k torero

toreador =torero

[Dcpepper94]

IT'S NOT TOREADOR, it's TORERO

[yipikayee]

lol no...

[Dcpepper94]

what? =X

[TheDaggettNuggets]

Toreador not torero (in this song)

[emdtb2001]

yeah no it's toreador

[johhnysenor]

i like this part and 5:14

Toreador, en garde

toreador, toreador.

Et songe bien oui song en combattant,

qu' un oeuil noir te regarde.

Et que l'amour t'attend?

Toreador, l' amour l' amour t'attend...

[muffystjohn86]

I don't know why but i love the shot between 0:54 and 1:05 wher the music starts playing and they start walking foward and Carmen just has a big grin on her face....

[interesting04]

people how can i get the full version of this in 2 days?

i can't find it on the net and don't have enough money to buy!

[hotsails28]

you can download it from emule..

[tqvivaperu]

is it "l'amour t'attend" or is it "la mort t'attend" that he sings?

[230723073]

It's "L'amour t'attend" ^^

[NAZORUS]

It is "L'amour t'attend" (Love's awaiting you).

[dvapodhradem]

vynikajícízvuk, konečně něco ve stereu....

[SenglardeCollserola]

Viva España

[Claudia2288]

Isn't it funny that all the escenarios are set up in Spain, and they sing in French? It's fantastic!

[speedymoco]

The Opera is actually french.

The story takes place in Seville.

[jakethewoz]

yeah, that's what she's saying... you do know that Seville is in Spain, right?

perhaps I don't understand what you're trying to say with your comment that wasn't said by Claudia...

[firepants20]

ya the guy singing is Escamillo. which i watched this about 2 weeks ago and i watched it in my music class and almost know every word xD

Awesome vid. ++ awesome movie!

[EmmaCarmen]

The BEST Escamillo is Bernard Imbert.

E.C.

And yes, enjoy watching this opera. It's THE BEST!!!

[seque69]

Alternate words:

Toreador

don't spit on the floor

use the cuspidor

that's what it's for

Just some fun with opera which I happen to love.

[moninka17]

haha, that´s really funny! Love this opera the most of all operas that I have ever seen.

[seque69]

If you like a little fun with opera look for Victor Borge and his Mozart opera on YOUTUBE. He has one singer in the wrong role and opera. Also look for "All the great operas in 10 minutes" Great fun.

[baculkar]

Ruggero Raimondi and Sherill Milnes are best Escamillo!!
