@gsyamsri81225 жыл бұрын
I just recover myself after what I consider a top ten actors play ever in Opera if not the first ever. Words are missing, you just feel it straight in all your being. Once you've seen Carmen played like this demon actress, you just know the opera from a new angle and other may sing better (which is not easy she's an extremely good singer but her French is not very impressive) they'll never reach such a degree of intensity. Because you feel it in her voice too, so that's why even with a better voice you're not to make a better Carmen! I just... yes try to recover atoms of myself gone everywhere in the universe!

One of the greatest things I've ever seen. Been comparing this to other Carmens and to me it's the acting, staging and directing that takes this over the top. Of course, the singing is amazing, but when Elina combines it with such convincing character acting it becomes overwhelmingly good. With her eyes she communicates the inner thoughts of Carmen the entire time and it's memorizing. And, of course, one can't help but fall in love with her cuz she's so DAMN GORGEOUS!

After reading the first few lines of the lyrics to this aria, I attempted to find these walls and bastions in videos and photos of a Seville from 150 years ago--Carmen's setting and time. The Royal Tobacco Factory where she and other female workers were employed is now a university. Today's Seville isn't the city it was back in the 1870s. It's now a modern metropolis with 700K residents, the host of the '92 World's Fair, the annual Spring Fair, and pretty ladies. I've visited Seville for the first and so far the only time in the fall of 2000, and found it to be a very beautiful city. What occasionally amazed me about Seville back in the 1870s was that Spain permitted women to work outside the home and in factories like the cigarette factory that employed Carmen and her co-workers. Ironically, that socially advanced society and its attitude towards women in the 1870s didn't co-exist too well with the crappy law enforcement and penal system of Royal Spain. People who violated the law were judged to be guilty before being proven innocent and sent right to the slammer after their capture.
@chigi93714 ай бұрын
Yes! You can even see the old tobacco factory in the first scene of the old Carmen film. We watched it for a film class in that very university! It’s a beautiful open-air building in the heart of the city. If you can, I’d strongly recommend visiting in the spring- there’s Fería and the manzanilla, of course, but just the ripe orange trees alone would be enough for me to go back in a heartbeat :)
