Bizet: Carmen

SKU: 03420

Price:
AU $34.92

Label: Deutsche Grammophon Cat. No.: 073 4032 Medium: DVD No. Discs: 1

This spectacular opera film was taped in 1967 and is based on the 1966 Salzburg Festival production directed by Herbert von Karajan himself, who also conducts the fabulous Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.

The production features the three greatest exponents of their respective roles at the time: Grace Bumbry's magnificently seductive-toned Carmen, Mirella Freni's ineffably lovely, touching Micaela and Jon Vickers' thrillingly manic-depressive Don Jose. The chemistry between all three characters is so vividly conveyed by these performers that the viewer becomes completely immersed in the passion and drama of this timeless story.

On its release the film was hailed by Die Presse, (Vienna) as a 'unique artistic event', while Le Monde felt that Karajan's production brought 'a whole new dimension' to the opera, 'combined with a magisterial interpretation'.

A classical and utterly dramatic approach to probably the world's most beloved opera, Karajan's Carmen is as much a treat for opera fans as it is a perfect starter for newcomers.
