[Arrigo1971]

She looks great but we have much better clips of her Carmen.

Anyway she's still quite special.

Terrible

hahaha i like your cinism, but I prefer another style, for essempio, Maria Ewing.

[shakaama]

and yet italy named her carmen and her name was a househould name there.

but eh what do they know

[wotanman]

Yeah yeah I've heard much better from her prior to and after this date- I believe La Verrett must have simply went through the entire process of menopause during this production. But she quickly adjusted. A big brrrrava her for keeping her s**t together when things got hot!

It was with Jon Vickers not Domingo. I believe at the time of this production, Verrett had retired Carmen from her repretoire. She felt it was too thankless of a role plus she had sung it so so so many times in her career

placido is great!!! and I love Verret, but not in Carmen, she´s not convincing!!

[Greatfan]

You know it is just an " OFF NIGHT ". We must be human. Singers sometimes are not really ill but not in the best health, that causes fear and tension and that makes singing difficult. that is what I guessed that happened with Verrett. A pity that a video inmortalized just a weak moment in a glorious career.

she is not doing terribly... she does have her moments in both the good and bad spots but she doesn't make me want to rip off my ears or anything...I still continue to dislike the foot thing...in any production...

Nada impede que Verret interprete uma excelente Carmen. Sua presença no palco até a favorece para isso. No entando esta Carmen deveria ser apagada, para não registrar momento tão ruim na carreira de tão excelente intérprete.
