I bought this DVD because I have her in Salome and the Coronation of Poppaea, in both of which she is amazing too. But this is the best...she's riveting. She's not really attractive at all...rather scary, in fact, and one wonders why Don Jose falls for her...he must have death wish too. The rest of the cast is forgettable, but because of ... Read More Rating - Evil dressed as a woman Maria Ewing as 'La Carmen' is superb. Not only does she have a magnificent voice but she is such a tremendous actress that, by facial gestures and body movements alone, she passes through phases of temptress, seductress, harlot and more. Like a black widow in its web she draws foolish males into her lethal embrace. Her gestures and glances, at time, approach pure evil. Wonderful. All this in the backdrop of Bizet's wonderful music and opera. The orchestra, sets and costumes are excellent and the other singers ... Read More Rating - Memorable music This was my first opera video and I based my decision to purchase it from the other reviewers who obviously know more about opera than I do. I did enjoy it but have to admit I prefer the ballet. Bizet's music in this opera is familiar to everyone and was enjoyable. I thought that Maria Ewing did a fine job with the role of Carmen. It helped me alot when I discovered that I could get English subtitles to help me with the story. Since I have not viewed any other opera videos I have nothing to compare this one with. It was good and ... Read More Rating - THIS is Carmen!!! Peter Hall's 1985 Glyndebourne production is absolutely amazing. It is ABSOLUTELY true to the libretto. VERY believable. The staging, chracterizations, acting, sets, costumes, etc. all serve the ART of the story and music. I have seen Carmen many times in my life. This is BY FAR the best I have seen. It is CONVINCING because it is what Bizet (and Meilhac, and Halevy) derived from Merimee. Before seeing this production, somehow I felt the opera to be filled with much good music, but with characterization less than ...
