Love the evolution of Jose in this scene from hopeful pleading to descent into a murderous insanity. And, Carmen, consistently fearless in the face of death. Magnificent singing actors.

This was just SO REAL! These two, boy can they not only sing, but their acting is incredible. It's so rare to have both in an opera. I think this is my favorite version, so far. Absolutely stunning performances by both.

When Roberto snaps into rage while he is hugging her.. that was frightening and so believable

Roberto Alagna est, à mon avis, le meilleur Don José sur le plan vocal et dramatique. Il nous fait ressentir toutes les nuances de cette passion mortifère. Élina Garanca est une superbe Carmen.

Roberta est extraordinaire ,quel bel artiste . Quel comédien, quel beau don José, bravo bravo Bravo aussi à carmen,superbe. Ça c'est du spectacle. Merci à vous.

These two have an incredible chemistry together. I had the pleasure to see both of them in another production and it was electric. The sheer physicality of their interpretation of this final scene makes it so vibrant and real . Both of them are absolutely brilliant vocally also.

The conductor's face when it ends haha

A great scene, stripped down to its most basic elements, its human interaction. Then to see that shot of the conductor, Sir Mark Elder, at the end, apparently devastated by what he has just been part of. Marvelous!

MAGNIFICENT!!!.....Alagna is so underrated.....he's fabulous as Jose in this......and Garanca's Carmen is rich and voluptuous......

Powerful ending!! Alagna always delivers a passionate performance and he and Garanca are excellent together. Very haunting!! C❤❤❤

Dang. That's one sick son-of-a-gun. He wiped her blood on his face, and put the ring back on her finger. Okay. I'm not usually one for modernized versions, and I was about ready to can this whole concept, but this gave me everything the Bizet score intended and then some.

That was magnificent. I had shivers.

OMG!! This is the best I have ever seen.....they're both amazing!!

Fantastic performance. They both really brought this scene to life. Amazing vocal beauty but much much more than that, a really thrilling horror. This is one of the most shocking finales of all operas, and finally here the two interpreters made it look and sound like one.

Wow! This is how to make opera current! This is how we tell the stories of a thousand women without making them unrelatable and kliché! This is How the Carmens of today die in the real world. This is the best interpretation i’ve ever seen! Bravi!!!

Too real ! Congrats. Great performers. Thank you.

This is damn damn great performance!!!

Não há tradução para os meus sentimentos, quando assisto estes dois. O que diria Bizet ao ver esta interpretação? Elina e Roberto, que química perfeita! Obrigada por esta emoção!❤

Great performance Bravissimo Elina is the Best CARMEN !!!!!!!

The conductor was awe struck.

Superbi 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Quel acteur, Roberto!

What a real Carmen and José... bravissimi❤

Los cantantes soberbios el director mis respetos los músicos todo todo siempre me encanta esta ópera sobretodo con estos cantantes Gracias señor Bizet.y gracias al que la subió subtitulada.

I couldn't help but cry omg!

Don't always like updating from the original time frame, but this works and is so raw in a way traditional productions aren't. Brava Alagna and Garança

Brilliant performances and production!! Thank you for sharing

Wonderful DUET & performance... BRAVO!!!

Un bellissimo duetto, modernizzato nei costumi ma fedele allo spirito dell'opera. Ottimi cantanti.

I am just speechless. Bravo, bravissimo!

Breathtaking! Can't help crying!

Гаранча не только великая мецо, но великая актриса.

I don't think they'll ever top the stage direction of the 2009 Met version. There were so many clever ideas that added so much to the experience.

Bonjour, L'ensemble de l'œuvre (musique - histoire - interprétation jouée et chantée) est absolument fantastique, ajouté à toute l'émotion dégagée laissent une empreinte indélébile

Breathtaking

Господи, как же это потрясающе!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Amazing performance.

Chocante! Confundiu até o maestro! O problema é que estória e de uma cigana, porém valeu a adaptação! Excelente! Há mulheres que são como Carmen. E existem homens possessivos como Don José e que não se conformam em perder.

Fantastic!

Элина и Роберто вместе просто чудо и поют и играют прямо изумительно а вживую их слушать просто праздник души

Just two people on an empty stage, and yet ...

Breathtaking!!!!

Que intensidad , ambos increíbles!

Great Performancees, Bravo Elina and Roberto !!!!!!! Bravissimo

This is a powerful interpretation that highlights the violence to which Don Jose is driven. Returning the ring to her finger and dragging her off underline his need to possess her. No Don Jose moves me, though, as does that of the magnificent Jose Carreras; his desperation brings me to tears.

In one word, SUPERB!!!

I’m trembling..

Удивительная органика исполнения, спасибо большое!!!

I love this

J'y étais.. Je suis ravie! Ils sont les meilleurs! Bravissimo Roberto, bravissimo Elina et Ildar!

maravillosa Elina Garanca,

Espectacular!!!!!!

bravo

AMAZING

it's great, the modern setting really brings this scene to life. this is how women still die to possessive, sick men. I love 6:25

Потрясающе играют, потрясающе поют, вот таким НАСТОЯЩИМ Должен быть театр, чтобы российская молодежь заинтересовалась...... Может быть наша Вишневская смогла бы так играть и спеть, а все остальные бездушные и пустые....

Minchiaaaaaaa che bomba questo finale!!!!

Trop fort !!!! j 'adore !

Wooow !

Очень натурально

straordinari

Aqui do Brasil. Que emocionante.

Quel Duo. A eux seuls ils sont le spectacle. Emouvant.

Maravilhosos!

Bravi 🎼🌷🌷🌷🌷🎼

la cara del final del director ...

CARMEN It's you! JOSÉ Yes, me! CARMEN I'd been warned that you were about, that you might come here; I was even told to fear for my life but I'm no coward and had no intention of running away. JOSÉ I'm not threatening, I'm imploring, beseeching; our past, Carmen - I forget it! Yes, together we are going to begin another life, far from here, under new skies! CARMEN You ask the impossible, Carmen has never lied; her mind is made up. Between her and you everything's finished. I have never lied; all's over between us. JOSÉ Carmen, there is still time, yes, there is still time. O my Carmen, let me save you, you I adore, and save myself with you! CARMEN No, I'm well aware that the hour has come, I know that you are going to kill me; but whether I live or die, no, no, I shall not give in to you! JOSÉ Carmen, there is still time, O my Carmen, let me save you, you whom I adore; ah! let me save you and save myself with you! O my Carmen, there is still time, etc. CARMEN Why still concern yourself with a heart that's no longer yours? No, this heart no longer belongs to you! In vain you say "I adore you" you'll get nothing, no nothing, from me. Ah! it's useless, You'll get nothing, nothing, from me! JOSÉ Then you don't love me any more? (Carmen is silent.) Then you don't love me any more? CARMEN No, I don't love you any more. FINAL DUET

Bravissimo

Mamma mia se son bravi. Una prova pazzesca (infatti sono distrutti)

מתורף !

Это потрясает! Тысяча браво! Это совсем не то, что они же делали в Мет ранее

Look at the desperation on Don Jose's face. And Carmen does nothing to temper that rage. It was bound to end this way: Tragically of course.

Son es traordinaros que duo es hun lujo

Они явно связанные одной цепью.

casi lloro, casi me meo jejeje estremecedor

That conductor looked 😂like he was about to pass out by the end poor guy

RIght at the crucial moment; after he stabs her, an ADVERT! Bravo! What a way to kill the climax...

Io piango...

Кармен умрёт но останется свободной!

Do you know the link or torent when I can watch all this production? I look everywhere and found nothing...

Нет ни слез, ни зла, тем паче, От иных разлук. Ты ушла, а я не плачу? Щаз, порежу лук!

Quelqu'un peut il me donner l'oeuvre entiere? Do Someone know where i can find the full video of all the acts of This 16 july 2017 carmen with Elina Garanca? Pls

Formidabili

Un escenario desierto y ropa de calle, que pobreza creativa. Muy bien los cantantes y la orquesta..

I have seen the video of these two doing the same scene at the Met. Fir some reason the lyrics were much easier to hear and understand in this one. I don't know if that is a quirk of the recording or a directorial choice, but i will happily trade a lot of scenery to be able to follow the song. Christopher Nolan should take note while we are at it.

Light off at the moment.Alagna turnd around at the end. If it was decided, it would be a god.

I've not seen the full opera of this production of Carmen. I need to so I know if Escamillio still was still a bull fighter. The singing is still magnificent.

OS CI LLA TION

9:05 Where did that additional music come from

Where was this.

Actuaciones soberbias. Uff!!!.

This opera is a masterpiece of music and drama. The world will never be able to repay Bizet for his genius ! So many productions ; so many interpretations ; so many different singers ... but, no matter -- there are only two singers who made Bizet proud -- their names will be forever joined to this opera ! We haven't heard this opera until we have heard Leontyne Price & Franco Corelli. So great were their performances, all we needed were their voices ! What tenor can break a man's heart like Corelli ?

conductors face

volumen ..

J'y étais, j'aime cet opéra, mais pas cette MIS...

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Grandes interpretaciones y está muy bien ver los músculos de Alagna... pero algo rarito el vestuario y tremenda arrastrada que le meten a la Carmen.

7:31 that chip shot tho

Ho appena ascoltato Del Monaco e Simionato del '49. Non c'è paragone, le voci di Mario e Giulietta sono più naturali, intonate e soprattutto fuori, cioè corrono fuori dalla bocca. Ormai si canta così, non so come sia successo ma in questo modo la lirica è alla pari con la musica leggera. Chi si intende lo capisce
