CARMEN......Waltraud Meier DON JOSÉ......Plácido Domingo CONDUCTOR......James Levine Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, Chorus and Ballet PERFORMANCE DATE: MAR 25, 1997
Domingo's voice is gorgeous, to be sure, but Carreras is the most moving Don Jose, tortured by his passion for Carmen. He is quick, lively, moving from hope to confusion to despair, deciding in a moment to give rein to his darkest passion. Domingo is stolid and unconvincing here, I'm sorry to say.
Yikes I love Meier but this isn’t her role. And the production is hideous. What did they do during rehearsals? It looks like they didn’t even stage it.
Magnificent. This was when the Met was doing excellent classic productions instead of the recent fare the last 10 years.
Magnifico. Maestro and Meier have a unique chemistry that I truly enjoy. Mil gracias.
Plácido als Don José immer ein Traum!
