  • Was this the same stage performance where Sherrill Milnes was Escamillo?

  • no, unfortunately no - Escamillo in this performance was Ruggero Raimondi and Micaela is Katia Ricciarelli... I prefer audio version with BERGANZA (of course), Domingo, Milnes and Cotrubas. My the most favourite recording of Carmen!

  • " C`est toi?"

    " C`est moi!" LOVE that line!

    Tethers the tension between Carmen and Don Juan wonderfully.

  • Merveilleux ! Bravo ! Domingo est superbe dans ce rôle !

  • @TheMusiloco Don't you mean "how manyy sopranos will have been killed by this tenor?"

  • @CartoonOperatics93 How Ghastly!How many sopranos will have killed this tenor?Previous, I´ve seen this same duet with Shirley Verret, the Afroamerican Mezzosoprano recently died. His singing and his behaviour like Carmen is very different respect Berganza maybe because it´s not frecuent a Gipsy Woman too Black or with afroamerican features. It doesn´t mean that She isn´t a great voice, but it´s very difficult playing a Mediterranean and Spanish character.

    Opera's Most Wanted:

    Placido Domingo the serial killer

    Very Dangerous Criminal

    Killed many Carmens in his career

    $100,000,000 Reward for his capture! XD

  • Domingo was fantastic as Jose with Agnes Baltsa as Carmen- in their prime.

    Pity there are almost no videos of those great performances.

  • Carmen es una opera de fineza musical y elegancia francesas pero su espiritu es racialmente español y mediterraneo. Esto es indudable para la mayoria. Domingo&Berganza lo 'hacen' tan bien en este rol porque participan de TODAS esas caracteristicas anteriores. Ese es el truco¡

  • Bizarre changes to the final pages- do we have Oeser to thank for that? This was certainly very good, but would recommend Jane Rhodes 1960 recording with Albert Lance for an astounding unforgetable experience as these 10 minutes of great music can be!

  • Ha,Ha...not the first time, i' ve seen a few carmens more stabbed by him :B

  • first time im seeing placido domingo kill somebody?

  • Domingo's voice conveys such truthfulness of feelings. For me, He really excels in Puccini and Bizet’s roles. The faintly Spanish accent in both singers also appeals me very much. It gives the whole thing a huge sense of reality. GREAT BERGANZA & DOMINGO!!!!
