The amazing Metropolitan Opera has done it again. Using a brilliant new concept by Richard Eyre [the talented theatre director making his Met debut] the Met has come up with a magnificent new take on everyone's favorite opera CARMEN.
Mr.Eyre has taken this old favorite and made it into a sexy, action filled masterpiece, and in the title role Elina Garanca generates so much erotic heat that she almost sears the paint off Rob Howell's brilliantly inventive scenery, and his costumes are attractive, colorful and serve the
production well.
This is a CARMEN for the 21st century. It is beautifully sung,very well conducted by Yannick Nezet-Seguin, and has a sexiness and inventiveness rarely found in other productions of this old favorite.
All in all, another memorable afternoon at the opera.
