Description
Bizet : Carmen
Bizet’s “Carmen” – one of the most beloved operas – staged at the world-famous Arena di Verona. This opulent production was directed by Franco Zeffirelli and sung by an international cast of excellent singers : russian mezzo-soprano Ekaterina Semenchuk, soprano Irina Lungu and tenor Carlo Ventre. The famous opera is staged as a colourful feast for the eyes, true to its source and convincingly acted by soloists, chorus and ballet alike.
Conducted by Henrik Nánási it is a gloriously sung musical experience.
