Bizet Carmen L'amour est un oiseau rebelle (Habanera). Elina Garanca vs. Anna Caterina Antonacci FHD

[@raneylee9617]

Elina!!! Her interpretation and such subtleties…I believe she is Carmen. She embodies Carmen.

[@ANDRIANASPATHI]

The best Carmen was Maria Callas.

[@andremesq]

@@ANDRIANASPATHI That's an intersting statement. As far as I know, Callas never actially interpreted Carmen on an opera production. She did sing and recorded some of the arias here and there, and indeed she did it remarkably well, but to say she was the best on a role she never actually played is quite a stretch.

[@eddyvanderlinden7338]

@@ANDRIANASPATHI Elina is Carmen .

[@onitasanders7403]

Elina, Elina, Elina. !! There is more subtlety, more color, in her voice. Her one on one focus gives the feeling of intimacy and inward sensuality as oppose to the outward theatrical presentation of the other artist.

[@valeriadiotallevi3046]

Elina Garanca is better, not only for the voice but also for the interpretation; for me, she's the best Carmen, nobody else will be like her in this role. Caterina Antonacci is beautiful and very talented, but she's not very natural on the stage.

[@Donillini]

She plays Carmen as sexy, but also crude. She plays her over the top, but still believable.

[@youdanatarov]

Elina is much better, better at all! She sang and played from the heart, I felt this flirtation, this fire of love looking at her without even understanding the language of speech, but it was damn hot! I love how she performs her roles in the opera, putting all her emotions into it... How hot she is in this song! ouch! Black hair color suits her very well.

[@samvelharutyunyan7441]

Elina is the best performer Bravo Elina Great performance !!!!!!!!

[@pierre-gabrieljobin9450]

A great contest ! Beware of the staging, you might unconsciously prefer the staging of one over the other. Elina Garanca's interpretation is the best of the two, more natural; and I prefer her voice, the timbre of her voice. Bravo depuis Montréal.

[@robkunkel8833]

I see a lot of commentators saying Elina had depth of voice and a good presence, while Anna was a bit more raw. I think Anna was working for an audience in the building, not camera. Elina’s expressions and her haunting good looks takes me further but both are incredible. A nice video. Thanks.

[@jean-baptisteoh9531]

Pour Carmen de Antonacci c'était 2007 en Londres. Je préfère Anna. Mais Elina Garancia aussi elle est bien pour Carmen. Braovo Bizet!

[@alainstimamiglio]

As a French listener I can only say that Antonacci’s French is absolutely perfect… Her vowels are incredible! Now of course, Garança may be better vocally or dramatically… Personally, I prefer Antonacci… 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@62francis]

Etant français, nul besoin de lire les sous-titres lol. Personnellement, bien que la présente interprétation soit irréprochable, je préfère le film tourné en décors naturels de 1984, avec Julia Migénes et Placido Domingo. Simplement sublime.

[@MusikPiratCH]

For me Elina Garanca is the best Mezzo I ever heard! She clearly surpasses Maria Callas in this role! It's not that difficult because Bizet wrote Carmen as a Mezzo. Yes, many sopranos sang Carmen - but every time they do something is missing in their singing! Clear winner: Elina Garanca!

[@aliciarealp]

Tampoco hay que exagerar... Algunas mezzos de la segunda mitad del siglo XX son difíciles de igualar ¿no cree?: Verret, Cosotto, Baltsa....

[@aliciarealp]

Teresa Berganza y tantas otras mezzos.

[@FranzBlumVan1890]

That´s lie in fact Garanca sunds more like a Dramatic soprano, real darker mezzo such Borodina, Podles in her prime was closer a mezzo, Baltsa so Garanca has a beautiful voice but we speak so much saying is the best. And about Carmen in fact wasn´t write for a mezzo, Cause mezzo voice wasn´t real category in that time, carmen was composed for Célestine Galli-Marié who was closer to sopranos roles than those we considere mezzo roles.

[@rivettigostoso]

Two greats mezzos.

[@miksyezpatelik]

No words can describe either of those performances .... I can only say " Wonderful"! I LOVE OPERA !!!!!

I had not realised what a brilliant actress Elina was until now. She has such a wonderful voice and beauty it is easy to overlook how brilliantly she performs.

[@thomasjewell7728]

-I first saw her in 'La Cenerentolla' (so?) Cinderella. Ten Carmen. Amore.

[@CatCat-tm2cg]

Anna Caterina Antonacci is the best because her voice sounds richer, like a Stradivarius Violin. Her facial expressions and the interpration of the song is better. The lighting and the dress lets her stand out, it is very easy to know who is singing. The dress is red and describes the song wonderfully.

[@Tom-cw4tm]

Absolutely 🥰

[@hummarstraful]

I love them BOTH!!! Anna definitely fits the description from the original book in 1845. Which she is described as "having eyes like a wild animal." That and other descriptions in the book are exactly what Anna looks like. I would say she definitely looks "gypsy" more than Elina. But Elina is the one that got me into opera. She's my all-time favorite! But I love them both.

[@airenekstudio9842]

Eyes like a wild animal - but not with rabies! Sorry but she seems like an insane witch who should go to a psychiatric therapy. This isn't "sexy" at all. If I would see someone like this as a man, I would definitely run out from the whole country. Elina shows the true instinct of Carmen. She has a confident, manipulative attitude who plays with men like toys. And also she's not scary. 🫣

[@cynthiafletcher9845]

It was great to listen both singers but my favorite is Don Jose and Roberto Alayna is perfect. (These productions are much better than some new "Carmen's.)❤❤❤

[@aliciarealp]

¿Qué tal Del Monaco, Corelli.... interpretando a D. José?

[@dT7XAeNa]

The pleasure of seeing Opera also lies in hearing the different interpretations of the same work

[@ShukraniKamugisha-pw8ou]

Both are amazingly

[@balazslengyel6950]

They both sing wonderfully. However Garanca is a much better actress. The teasing, flirting actions are perfect for the lyrics. She also manages to interact with the other actors, which is rare in opera singers.

[@DidierSturtzer]

Elina. Sans hésiter. La plus grande Carmen.

[@GeraldH-g8t]

Anna Caterina Antonacci is a soprano and it really shows, her voice lacks the depth Garanca has, it sounds playful, yet not seductive. Carmen is a femme fatale, she's wicked, Garanca manages a better deliver of the character without making crazy faces. Her expressions are seductive, while Antonacci seems out of place. Because she's a soprano, she opens her mouth a lot, like...A LOT (like...bro I can see her molars) to deliver notes that are ment to be potent and rich, classic for a mezzo, which makes her expressions look weird and deranged from time to time. Garanca just has a better understanding of what Carmen is and the ability to perform her.

[@MaribelPalermo255]

Absolutely agree

[@draganvidic2039]

Garanca is a soprano too, just trained as a mezzo.

[@FranzBlumVan1890]

Garanca is a soprano too, she says she started as dramatic soprano. her voice sound strong in chest but not so dark

[@santiagodejesusgallovargas6622]

I do not agree, it seems to me that Elina is darker, she lacks charm and sensuality and her interpretation is very bland , Elina's voice is better in my opinion for Mozart where her deep voice is optimal.Antonacci has souft, sexy femenine, her permormace is better is very sexy, her dance in "Les tringles des sistres tintaient has more cadence and sexuality

[@zojazoja3059]

Zdecydowanie Elina Garanca. Obejrzałam ją w tej roli w kilku spektaklach, czasem bardzo "zmodyfikowanych" przez rezyserów i scenarzystów ale Elina jest Elina. Nie brakuje jej ani głosu ani temperamentu do tej roli. Zdawałoby się zimna i wyważona w innych rolach ale ,że tylko wspomnieć księżniczkę Eboli w Don Carlo. The best.

[@pablovalbuenabermudez267]

Anna Caterina fascinating forever ❤

[@timknguyen]

Both Elina & Anna Caterina are AMAZING! I had originally preferred Anna Caterina but with this side-by-side video, I now think that Elina’s version is slightly better! Better acting and since Elina is a mezzo-soprano, her singing of Carmen is more natural, very much like my reference version of the great Teresa Berganza! As a French speaker, I do appreciate and love Anna Caterina’s French enunciation.

[@reneclementpenalba4731]

Cela me semble un peu inutile de dire lequel est le meilleur. Honnêtement j’ai ma préférence mais il vaut mieux profiter des deux. Les deux sont magnifiques !

Elina Garanca is the best. Excelent vocally. And very good actress. Anna Caterina Antonacci is soprano, don't mezzo. The role of Carmen is not for her voice. Maria Callas and Angela Gheorghiu (sopranos) sang the Habanera better. But the role of Carmen is for mezzo!!!

[@icespyda]

Both are amazing in their own right much like jazz theres too many components to simply aim all of the key implications that both of these opera singers can bring about with natural ability. Now for the key notes in each of their performances me personally Elina gave about that black widow esk type of performance, her love as presented seems gentle and serene and when your guard is dropped she strikes for the kill. Caterina to me gives off a much more subtle feel much the same as Elina but the smoothness of transition between lyrics makes me feel Caterina as Carmen seems more crazed in a sense. While Elina comes off as much more calculated and in control, seductive, deceiving, and overall powerful all in the same. Even though she shows her crazy you can't help but to chase. Love both performances either way, I wish we had more plays performed like these two

[@pierovalentinomarroquinarc2188]

No hay discusión aquí, Elina Garanca eleva a Carmen a otro nivel, con su sofisticada actuación, aunque es cierto que Anna Caterina lo hace de manera más bizarra (extravagante), cercana a la realidad de una mujer "vulgar", con esto quiero decir que es más creíble hallar en una zona marginal como esa a una Carmen con la actitud corriente y descarada de Anna Caterina que a una Carmen elegante con un descaro complejo como Elina Garanca, pero por eso mismo siento a esta última muy especial y onírica, me encanta Garanca y no solo su voz, su actuación es fenomenal.
