Description:
Jonas Kaufmann and Anna Caterina Antonacci bring rare erotic intensity to the drama of Don José and Carmen in this darkly passionate reading of one of the most popular operas. Kaufmann uses his burnished tenor and smouldering good looks to portray the man undone by Carmen's love. As the object of his desire, Antonacci gives a physical and compelling performance.

What a budget production! I've seen better scenery at high school musicals. Anna Antonacci brings nothing new or exciting to the roll of Carmen. Idebrando d'Arcagnelo as Escamillo has no business singing this roll in a major house like the Royal Opera. Norah Amsellem is very good as Michaela but try counting the number of times conductor Antonio Pappano can't keep his orchestra in sync with the singers on the stage.

Escamillo, but Ildebrando D'Arcangelo does! He plays the part with relish,
and I love his strong beautiful voice. I like ... Read More

I am pleased that I could have seen this superb production. Chemistry between Carmen and Don José works at 100 %. And especially I must compliment performance of Jonas Kaufmann as Don José. He to perfection included the whole psychology of Don José - from amorousness and apprehension to jealousy and madness. I recommend this great DVD.
