Bizet - Carmen / Maazel, Migenes, Domingo Reviews

---

Simply the best representation of Bizet's
opera ever! It's very raw and authenic interpretation of both Merimee's and Bizet's story. Filmed in Spain back in 1984, the movie holds a special place in my imagination. Real places such as the cigarette factory, the bullring in Ronda where Escamillo received accolades for his bullfighting prowess. What I really liked about the movie are the performances by Placido Domingo and Julia Migenes. They brought Jose and Carmen to life with their dialogue and acting.

Please buy this movie. You're in for a real treat!

A moving Carmen - the movie of the opera
You cannot close your eyes, the film adds something so special to the music even if Migenes is not the best voice Carmen ever had ... More beautiful than any other Carmen movie (let alone the opera on stage) because it was shot in Spain.
