[jewelmarkess]

Beautiful voice, beautiful interpretation, great acting, and she is beautiful too. Love it.

[shemer8]

she is one of the best opera singer

[cleanears]

Is she angry about something? I didn't know José had a drinking problem...

[lianikam]

I was there :) she's amazing!!!!

[ididete]

this woman is beautiful but her voice is fairly small.

[petitequinte]

@ididete I think it's just the quality of the recording...  I saw another one and she was plenty loud enough :D

[youtiube]

@petitequinte yes the mike sounds like it was way back in the hall with the camera

[ALIKJ09]

Amazing)))

[halavey]

She is young, good looking and a fine voice, she will last, smart singer. Thanks for the post

[halavey]

Shicoff was fine what do you mean never mind -- he is 60 years old here. Have respect for a great tenor who has sung the role for over 20 years.

[StudyRocker]

Nevermind Shicoff; Shahan positively smoulders!

[StuartLou]

Shicoff. One of my favorite tenors.

[NarsCosmetics]

What a talented artist

[NewYorkToimes]

Amazing singer

[Portiarocksyoursocks]

Rinat Shaham is an amazing singer. I think she makes a fabulous Carmen. :) :) XXX

[Blue3909]

So what was she saying?

[Portiarocksyoursocks]

shes trying to seduce don Jose to let her out of prison. LOL.

[Blue3909]

I figured that out when i was watching the video. But were here words?

[Portiarocksyoursocks]

Well I sing the english version so this is the english translation....

There by the walls of Seville, at my good friend Lillas Pastia's. I go there and dance Seguidilla and I drink Manzanilla. I shall go and dance at lillas Pastias. But it's no fun they're all alone. Real pleasures all need company. so when I feel the need to dance my lover always comes with me. so where is he? gone to the devil. I threw him over yesterday. so my poor heart needs consolation my heart is free....

[Portiarocksyoursocks]

... as free as the air. though i have suitors by the score I fear that none of them will do. But my poor heart for love is burning! Who would love me I will love too! Who wants my love? it's for the taking! Now is the time Don't miss your chance! Now's the time to make up your mind now be sure not to miss your chance. There by the walls of seville... (etc...) and then Don Jose comes in saying: quiet! didn't i tell you not to speak to me! and then she says stuff like im just singing to myself

[Portiarocksyoursocks]

and stuff like its not against the law to think. and then she says Im thinking of a certain soldier who loves me and in return i will love him. And in the end Don Jose gives in. :) :) Hope that has helped :) :) sorry it wouldnt all fit into one comment

[Blue3909]

I wish I spoke that languae. Is it italian or french?

[Portiarocksyoursocks]

French :) :) I done french for 7 years and I'm still bad at it hahaha.

[Blue3909]

lol I took french in highschool. I don't remember alot though. If you don't pay attention from the begining you wont get it.

[Portiarocksyoursocks]

viyltovideo posted the flower song feb 17 2009

[halavey]

vinyltovideo has posted the audio of his 1990 Flower song in Chicago which is wonderful, posted several months ago.

[halavey]

Neil is still fine in the role and that is a 60 year old man who looks and sounds much younger here. Bravo, try and get his 1990 Chicago Don Jose with Emily Golden.

[corellithebest]

Does anyone know who were Micaela and Escamillo of this production? I really really like this Zeffirelli's production!

[HansCastorp23]

Escamillo - Josef Wagner / Mikolai Zalasinski

Micaela - Serena Farnocchia / Noa Danon

[corellithebest]

Wonderful! What fiery singing and acting! And Shicoff is amazing, too!

[WildTiggerStallion]

I would like to tie her up and wisper naughty things in her ears. VERY HOT!!!

[NYvideoUS]

She is amazing isn't she?
