Just love this version of Carmen - acting, singing - everything is excellent! But a strange thought came to my mind when I watched this video clip without music - then seemed, as if a priest was fighting with a vampire. First he tried to save her soul, then, after she refused the salvation, killed her...
This last scene is truly choreography - watch the economy of movement and the grace with which they move - perfect timing of music & movement - and the ending is devastating - UNTIL THEY REVOLVE THEM AWAY and hit you in the face with the sacrificial bull -yes, children, metaphors!!! They should have left it alone - the two doomed lovers...
They are just amazing, and they sell the characters so well, I have not heard another version that is this good. the dress is beautiful and stunning on her but perhaps a little bit tight on the top.
@Zimtschaefchen Ja, hier geben es gewisse kleinichkeiten und unterschiede.....das ist ganz interessant. Und mit die Kleid...ich meine sie hat auch in die Scene ins DVD ganz Problem in der Kleid zu bleiben :-D
Danke für die Widmung und dieses tolle Video, das mich wahrscheinlich überzeugt hat, die DVD doch zu kaufen - irgendwann^^ Elina ist wirklich DIE Carmen unserer Zeit, aber Roberto Alagnas Stimmfarbe gefällt mir überhaupt nicht, immerhin ist er ein guter Schauspieler.
Was there ever a better Carmen ? Alagna at his best...

Carmen was not heartless, she has fallen in love, als not with Jose, but with Escamillo!

Alagna is a perfect Don Jose. Garanca the most overrated singer in history.

Alagna , as ever was superb. I was less keen on Garanca, prefer Beatrice Uria Monzon. Garanca is a little shrill for my taste.

@Ilovefantacy If it wasn't that tight on top, I don't think it would've stayed up. LOL.

@TheZOOM6488 All right!
Thanks!
Alagna and Garancha play the new final incredibly!
Alagna rejected former sobbing and it's good.

Ich finde Elina verkörpert genau das was ich in Carmen sehe, sie ist stolz und geht dem Tod aufrecht entgegen....
