Title: Best Production of Carmen EVER!!!
Review: I kept checking this out of the library, so I finally just ordered my own copy. This is a fabulous production of Carmen. Maria Ewing is so spectacular...as a Mezzo AND as an actress. First of all, she looks like a gypsy. Her eyes are remarkable...you can see them bulge and glare, even on a long shot. She is just so brazen and sensuous and sullen...and she does great little theatrical "business" gestures, like picking lint off her dress. She's Carmen as a woman in charge. Everybody else is fabulous, too. The tempo is upbeat. The theatre is in the round. And there are lots of surprises!
