Magnifico. Maestro and Meier have a unique chemistry that I truly enjoy. Mil gracias.

[@bethfiori4708]

Domingo's voice is gorgeous, to be sure, but Carreras is the most moving Don Jose, tortured by his passion for Carmen. He is quick, lively, moving from hope to confusion to despair, deciding in a moment to give rein to his darkest passion. Domingo is stolid and unconvincing here, I'm sorry to say.

Magnificent. This was when the Met was doing excellent classic productions instead of the recent fare the last 10 years.

8:17 she ran out of power

[@Sacha_Kudli]

Domingo IS Don José

[@bethfiori4708]

Jose Carreras is.

[@petercallahan7321]

Yikes I love Meier but this isn’t her role. And the production is hideous. What did they do during rehearsals? It looks like they didn’t even stage it.

[@castanhatropicana]

Mise en scene by Zefirelli.

[@bethfiori4708]

A most awkward staging. She walks right to him to be knifed. She doesn't seem determined to flee, afraid, rebellious, or anything one might imagine for Carmen. Even the greatness of Domingo's voice can't save this.
