Teresa BERGANZA & Placido DOMINGO *Carmen*- finale

It's quite strange hearing Domingo sing in French, after hearing him sing in Italian as well as Spanish. Even when he sings in English, it's quite interesting too. But, he still sure pulls everything off, no matter what he sings :).

Merveilleux ! Bravo ! Domingo est superbe dans ce rôle !

Domingo was born to sing Don Jose. Berganza I love but not as Carmen. Her voice is purely lyric and she doesn't have the sizzling fire and sex appeal that Grace Bumbry had as Carmen. My favorite is Grace Bumbry.

It's actually Don Jose.

I hate the costumes, but the singing is good. Although I think that Berganza is a master in Rossini. She sang Rosina in Il Barbiere di Siviglia like no other.

Lovely singing! Brava!  Bravo!

In my opinion, i think that the best Carmen in every aspect of a production was one in which was Jonas Kaufman and Anna Antonacci. Is wonderful!! It was made in Convent Garden and had it everything: clothing (quite sexi, speccially Carmen's), the lights were great, the quality of the voices was great and not mention the orchesta and the chorus, there is no other version compared. I dont like this one because everybody seems to be singing quite slowly, but if it would be faster it would better...

Who cares your opinion?

¿Perdonamos al ignorante que se atreve a decir que le actriz Maria Ewin pueda ni de lejos acercarse a La simpar Berganza? no se yo, no se yo...

As someone who grew up listening to opera, I get a warm fuzzy feeling every time someone implies the same.

Just an aside, carry on. :D
