Bizet : Carmen [DVD & Blu-ray]
« Anna Caterina Antonacci’s Carmen, finally on DVD, is legendary, a detailed artist at her most nuanced. » – OPERA NEWS
« The performances are first-rate. Modern opera performances demand excellent vocalism and acting, and Carmen requires both of these to make the characters realistic.
The small hand-picked orchestra of mostly young, period-instrument players is effective. … The picture and sound quality are excellent. This is an outstanding production and performance. » – AMERICAN RECORD GUIDE
« Belgian soprano Anne-Catherine Gillet is a superb Micaëla, with an appealing, fresh tone that exudes sweet innocence. ‘Je dis que rien ne m’épouvante’ is beautifully sung—you can see how Carmens everywhere fear a Micaëla who can pull off this tricky aria, as it can be a show-stealer!
The playing is superb (as is the recorded sound on this Naxos reissue) and you can tell Gardiner relishes every moment. » -GRAMOPHONE
« In this 2009 Paris staging of Bizet’s Carmen, one of the seminal female roles in opera is taken by the Italian singer Anna Caterina Antonacci, who gives an intelligent performance…John Eliot Gardner conducts his Orchestre Revolutionnaire et Romantique and Monteverdi Choir in a fine reading of the famous score. » – PIZZICATO
