@@job8285 of course. She's free in an absolute way, about everything, not just in love, that was my point. in this video this aspect is quite restricted but it's okay!

I just recover myself after what I consider a top ten actors play ever in Opera if not the first ever. Words are missing, you just feel it straight in all your being. Once you've seen Carmen played like this demon actress, you just know the opera from a new angle and other may sing better (which is not easy she's an extremely good singer but her French is not very impressive) they'll never reach such a degree of intensity. Because you feel it in her voice too, so that's why even with a better voice you're not to make a better Carmen! I just... yes try to recover atoms of myself gone everywhere in the universe!

To some extent, there is going to be face-to-face singing, though we generally try to "cheat" our faces towards the audience both to maximize audibility to the audience and to minimize all the noise that's being directed at whoever's on stage with us (Singing in technique, opera singers can exceed 100 dB of sound - really, really loud).

That has to be the sexiest performance of Carmen ever. I've seen Marilyn Horne, who many said was THE Carmen of the seventies, sing the role; and I've seen Denyce Graves, who many said was THE Carmen of the nineties, sing the role. And I have to say that neither one of them can hold a candle to Elina Garanca. In this production, she becomes Carmen in a way that I wouldn't have thought possible.

One of the greatest things I've ever seen. Been comparing this to other Carmens and to me it's the acting, staging and directing that takes this over the top. Of course, the singing is amazing, but when Elina combines it with such convincing character acting it becomes overwhelmingly good. With her eyes she communicates the inner thoughts of Carmen the entire time and it's memorizing. And, of course, one can't help but fall in love with her cuz she's so DAMN GORGEOUS!
