Featured review
Very good Carmen for the most part
Carmen is the most popular French opera
In the world and among the most popular operas ever. It is also very close to my heart. This 2003 Arena Di Verona production is very good looking,directed by Franco Zefirelli(his most famous productions are Met La Boheme and Turandot). I am not a big fan of Marco Berti,he is a bit still as an actor and has a tendency to shout when he sings. His Don José is decent,I would rank it behind his Pinkerton in 2003 Royal Opera House Madama Butferfly. Maya Dashuk as Micaela is very sweet and kind and brings a bit of fire to Micaela in Micaela's aria. Raymond Aceto,who plays Escamillo has the best best French diction of the cast and has fun with Escamillo's aria. The best performer was Marina Domashenko as Carmen-fiery,temperamental and passionate. Overall,very descent Carmen,brought down a bit with some scenes that were overcrowded and a bit of a weak link in Marco Berti .7/10.
