Elina Garanca & Roberto Alagna - Carmen Finale

Carmen Act IV - Bizet
Finale
Opéra national de Paris
16 de Julio - 2017

[@user-hr5ow7qp2d]

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.

[@sylviebasyl2835]

D'ailleurs, j'aime beaucoup l'analyse qui en est faite sur cette vidéo. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYG2fmSVpNJjiK8si=545-4PADAn_q2I3N

[@catherinelasalle3405]

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.

[@jackiem1903]

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

[@Beethovenfan12]

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.

[@jimcadena8533]

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.

[@michelcasavant4345]

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.

[@alangregory9229]

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

[@pdz-pk4od]

That was magnificent. I had shivers.

[@brunyate]

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!

[@danafripp4120]

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.

[@mckavitt]

Dana Fripp I feel the same. This is just about the only modern version of an opera (almost) that really works. The stage producer really knows his Carmen.

[@danafripp4120]

@@mckavitt yes indeed. It's organically terrifying. The director peeled away all of the excess, all of the "Carmen-esque" clichés, and entrusted these two incredible performers with the bare-boned, psychologically dramatic intensity of this moment. Not one shred of unnecessary histrionics. The characters' thoughts, their individual objectives, motivate every note, every move (When she gives him back the ring with such eerie serenity...I think I died a little bit with her. What a powerful dramatic choice...) This is an authentic singing actors' production. I would have loved to have been in the rehearsal space to see this creative process in action.

Гаранча есть Гаранча но в Мнтрополлитен опера она болбше нравится

[@rossmerchant8435]

This has been one of my go-tos in arguing that so-called "Regie Theater" can work. At the time, composers often used the distant past and/or exotic locales to hide criticisms about their own society. Being that opera is theater and therefore a living art form, it can be totally enlightening when the director uses the work to highlight a problem that is real to many people (e.g. domestic violence) to make an important point about the society we are living in today. Way too often, directors approach an opera as if to prove to the audience that the premise of the libretto is bogus, but I find that the most radical approaches are successful when they meet the opera pin good faith and supplement/highlight the point the opera is trying to make rather than arrogantly trying to contradict it.

[@karolinaservilha2842]

The conductor's face when it ends haha

[@marcvolpe8252]

KAROLINA YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL ADORABLE SEDUCTIVE RAVISHING CAPTIVATING SEXY CAPTIVATING AND PASSIONATE YOUR BEAUTY IS PHENOMENAL IF BEETHOVEN WERE ALIVE TODAY YOU WOULD BE HIS MUSE ❤

[@cynthiafletcher9845]

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

[@windycityliz7711]

Alagna has always had a special place in my heart - and he sure does rip it out here. Geeze.

[@alessela6804]

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

[@pillapaladini]

Superbi 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@kalimaya1]

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!❤

[@esventan]

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!!!

[@mckavitt]

Emma Sventelius The absolute same is true for me. I even uploaded it!

[@danafripp4120]

You know what scared me the most? How much Alagna looked like Robert Blake! That really made the realism of it hit home.

[@mckavitt]

Dana Fripp Brava!! Never thought about that. (Didn’t see the resemblance 😕). Lucky me!

[@reginalukaszun3333]

What a great performance by both singers Roberto has unbelievable stage talent .

[@MariaFFraga-vq7gz]

I would lie and turn him to authorities and therapy...Oh, true, did these existe in those days? ...we are lucky in 2020

[@MariaFFraga-vq7gz]

Too real ! Congrats. Great performers. Thank you.

[@aci1970]

Quel acteur, Roberto!

[@samvelharutyunyan7441]

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

[@hada9568]

This is damn damn great performance!!!

[@bravomylife3711]

What a real Carmen and José... bravissimi❤

[@jimcadena8533]

The conductor was awe struck.

[@mazelisgroup]

Sir Mark Elder is a truly wonderful, very great conductor.

[@panteranegra4548]

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.

[@kialaminah]

I couldn't help but cry omg!

[@IanRob2011]

Brilliant performances and production!! Thank you for sharing

[@cinziavidali411]

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

[@Homoclassicus]

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.

[@rjravelov6187]

I am just speechless. Bravo, bravissimo!

[@bettyottman1718]

Splendido.

[@gematalci]

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.

[@user-qp5fx1ij5g]

Breathtaking! Can't help crying!

[@jimcadena8533]

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

[@mckavitt]

Jim Cadena Raw, yes, until Carmen meets the Toreador & realises she can attain a better life... & a better level of love. Finally a man who understands & accepts her as she is. Alas, it is too late.

[@cfgt-xz9rx]

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

[@olexandrkostuchenko7112]

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.

[@sylviebasyl2835]

Удивительная органика исполнения, спасибо большое!!!

[@ashtara3961]

I’m trembling..

[@petradonovan5161]

In one word, SUPERB!!!

[@bethfiori4708]

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.

[@estelalatorreboero3667]

maravillosa Elina Garanca,

[@doctorshoot]

[@joseayala1499]

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

[@user-nm5im9wf2r]

Они явно связанные одной цепью.

[@shirleyrombough8173]

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.

[@newelizad4776]

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

[@catherinecozzano2580]

NewElizaD I think you can find it on the Operadeparis.fr site. It’s a production of 2017 at Bastille Opera House by Calixto Bieito which was then programmed again with Anita Rachvelishvili as Carmen in 2019.

[@gwindematteo934]

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

[@spikespa5208]

Got my ad *just before* he stabs.

[@Iamkcs2c]

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.

[@sylviebasyl2835]

Plus facile à comprendre, ça ne m'a pas marqué...

[@orfeopecci]

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

[@r.zimmerman3838]

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.

[@cacvpc]

That's what I was wondering, too.

[@jerseygirl3428]

Well, since they're singing the toreador song in the background as he fights the bull, I would say probably. Or maybe he's giving a rock concert instead. :)

[@FoxTrotteur]

I saw this staging and 8n my memory Escamillo is still a bull fighter though he doesn't wear torero clothes. The staging is one of a semi-modern carmen, with few decorum. So the gyspies use old cars, the 1st act is in a military camp with just a flag pole, the 4th act is in this circle of dust that symbolises à Bull fighting arena. Escamillo wears a smoking but he is still a toreador and is not visible is the 4th act. I think the director wanted to build a closed area to concentrate around Carmen and Jose's relationship. Escamillo is a Bull fighter but he can be in this staging any civilian (neither a military personnel, nor a gypsy)

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 ?

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
