Still the best version of Carmen I have ever seen - Julia Migenes-Johnson is the perfect vision of Carmen and incorporates the Sevillana passion like a pro! The film was made in Ronda de la Frontera - a small town in Andalucia that still looks the way it did in the 15th century. Fabulous. Thanks so much for sharing this great film!

Nietzsche said in his "case of Wagner" that he listened the opera 20 times. And, I listened 100 times in 3 months after reading the book. The first opera that I ever listened to.
The best Carmen ever! Julia Migenes' voice is definitely most outstanding awesome. This Lady breathes communications, inhales music and exhales body language.. The impact this deity has on people, is at least most impressive, and it lasts forever. Bizet wrote Carmen but I could listen and I saw Carmen. The real one. Carmen for short is Love. Lady Julia Migenes is that Carmen.
My great grand mother sung opera and did this and Madam Butterfly professionally in Nottingham around 1938, this is a window to my very special great grand mother....love it!
I bought a VHS copy of this about 15 years ago, and have watched it at least 25 times. The BEST Carmen presentation EVER. And I've seen it on stage at least six times.
Carmen is a 1984 French-Italian film directed by Francesco Rosi. It is a film version of Bizet's opera, Carmen. Julia Migenes stars in the title role, Plácido Domingo as Don José, Ruggero Raimondi as Escamillo, and Faith Esham as Micaela. Lorin Maazel conducts the Orchestre National de France. - Wikipedia
Julia Migenes is the Carmen by which all other Carmens are measured. After hearing this, the others seem lacking. This is by far the best version of the Habanera that I have ever heard. Migenes has a magnificent voice. Her flirty yet powerful performance perfectly embodies her character's wild and reckless sensuality, and shows the irresistible effect she had on men. In the story, the other women in the village all hated Carmen, and with good reason. She stole their men right and left.
My favorite opera from as long I remember... watched it several times, several different productions... This one is my preferred one - watched it uncountable times... Never tired to watch again...
Now there's a Carmen I could see a man throwing away his career for and running off to the mountains! Sexiest Carmen ever, and one of the greatest voices,
@@jasonfowler635 You should see the opera. There are several versions of it available on TH-cam. Carmen is a 19th century melodramatic story about a Spanish military officer, Don Jose, who falls in love with a sexy Gypsy cigarette girl and runs away with her to the mountains to become a smuggler. She rejects him for a bullfighter, and Don jose kills her. Stupid, simple story, but some of the most beautiful music ever.
despite disconnected breathes here and there, still one of my favorite rendition of all time. What a voice that complements the soul of French sound, anticipating the coming of the Edith Piaf singing style.
Wow...Now I need to watch the movie...My boy's are gonna be so mad cos this is gonna be my saturday night plan...when we're all drinking and the curfew has ensured they can't leave...Musical education shall happen by FORCE cos this is just AMAZING!
+CFITOMAHAWK2 I have no idea as to whether or not Danny DeVito speaks Italian and neither do you, I'm sure. But what you just said makes no sense. One's ethnicity has nothing to do with WHERE they were born. But I guess that's a bit over your head...just saying.
We had to watch this in my music class in 8th grade, everyone thought it would be horrible and were wishing they were in the other music class (that was learning guitar) by the end of the class my teacher made everyone love this opera.
I owned this DVD some years ago and one day it cracked right across the middle, and I could never watch the riveting sexy Julia Migenes-Johnson become my ultimate Carmen ever again. Trouble is, Julia has spoiled me for any other opera singer trying to depict Carmen! I miss this film and its music so much. So thanks so much for posting this.
The first time I saw Carmen the opera was this one with Julia McGinnis-Johnson, above all of any that I've seen she is the ultimate "Carmen" Bravo Julia bravo.
Magnifica fusione di una musica straordinaria, voci pure, immagini piene di vita, coreografia sensuale, e su tutto la luce divina del Mediterraneo . Un inno rivoluzionario alla vita
Opera films are usually a poor substitute for stage performance.. This film was created to be a film first, the recording is top notch and the cinematography is a wonder of light.. Kinds of fell in love with Julia Migenes-Johnson !
Truly a brilliant piece with many inticate, yet meaninful ideas set into a section. Deception, is the biggest idea here. This idea of trust me at your own risk because I can not be tamed or tied down.

I had to watch about 8 film versions of Carmen in my Race and Identity in Music class this semester, and this Carmen was the one who turned me on the most (and we even watched the Hip-Hopera where Carmen was Beyonce!). Jesus Christ, this woman IS Carmen.
The movie is 30 years old. If you ever come to Italy I suggest you visit Verona and attend a CARMEN performance at the 2,000 year old Roman Arena. The festival usually takes place between end of June and early September. Unfortunately 2020 the festival was cancelled due to Covid-19. Hopefully it takes place in 2021.
“Love is a rebellious bird…”, because this is such a famous (infamous in some circles lol) opera, the 1st line and the very name of the opera is too important to mess up so badly… so not too thrilled with the translation here, BUT the singer is gorgeous and quite spectacular to listen too! ☺
Everything about this film is perfect ,the performances, singing , the location,the weather..etc
Julia has the voice, the acting ability, the dancing ability, the raw exotic sexiness perfect for the part. What a combination.
Yes, I also think this is the best interpretation of Habanera.

Carmen for short is Love.
Lady Julia Migenes is that Carmen.
🎼🎼🎧🎧
she sings with her whole body , and soul , shes absolutly unique
Nope, the best Carmen EVER is Elina Garança, more bass and light years away in the theatric sense: see th-cam.com/video/8GD63RuQduc/w-d-xo.html

I LOVE how the world shakes every time the male back vocals and the entire orchestra kick in. Perfection!
It’s so hard to find this movie anymore. Thank goodness I had the sense to buy it on DVD back in the day. Great opera and great adaptation!
Yes, interestingly the Movie….like this Performance, too…
That was lovely! I really appreciate the English subtitles as I now have some idea as too what the song is about. Thanks again for sharing.
gotta love a story that takes place in Spain but is in French lll
because the composer is french lol
I love it for some reason it adds a bit more sexiness to it
And this 1984 film still features Italian Ruggero Raimondi
Julia migenes was the best ever carmen
+Happy Gamer “wavdjam” HD --best one..and i know Spanish women exactly like her..Is migenes Puerto Rican? or part of??
My dad had this on VHS back in the early 90s. His favorite version of his favorite opera.
The first time I saw Carmen the opera was this one with Julia McGinnis-Johnson, above all of any that I've seen she is the ultimate "Carmen" Bravo Julia bravo.
I grew up watching the video of this as a child. I loved the chemistry between Julia and Placido
Same! And any other version I watch can't seem to live up to it. Amazing Carmen!

Taking something from stage to film is always a challenge. Weather or not it’s done well really depends on the director.
Thank you from all of us for the translation. It makes more enjoyable now when we hear it even in another language. Good Luck.
This is one of my favourite operas of all time even though I don’t understand the language it’s one of the greatest operas of all time
My favorite version by far!
Truly a brilliant piece with many inticate, yet meaninful ideas set into a section. Deception, is the biggest idea here. This idea of trust me at your own risk because I can not be tamed or tied down.
Wow! My favorite Carmen.
I like the birds singing in the background I can almost feel the Spanish heat from my screen
She portrayed the character of Carmen really well.
A truly wonderful piece. Makes my eyes water.
L'amour est un oiseau rebelle
Que nul ne peut apprivoiser,
Et c'est bien en vain qu'on l'appelle,
S'il lui convient de refuser.
Rien n'y fait, menace ou prière,
L'un parle bien, l'autre se tait:
Et c'est l'autre que je préfère,
Il n'a rien dit mais il me plaît.
L'amour! L'amour! L'amour! L'amour!
L'amour est enfant de Bohème,
Il n'a jamais, jamais connu de loi;
Si tu ne m'aimes pas, je t'aime:
Si je t'aime, prends garde à toi!
Si tu ne m'aimes pas,
Si tu ne m'aimes pas, je t'aime!
Mais, si je t'aime,
Si je t'aime, prends garde à toi!
Si tu ne m'aimes pas,
Si tu ne m'aimes pas, je t'aime!
Mais, si je t'aime,
Si je t'aime, prends garde à toi!
L'oiseau que tu croyais surprendre
Battit de l'aile et s'envola...
L'amour est loin, tu peux l'attendre;
Tu ne l'attends plus, il est là!
Tout autour de toi, vite, vite,
Il vient, s'en va, puis il revient...
Tu crois le tenir, il t'évite,
Tu crois l'éviter, il te tient.
L'amour! L'amour! L'amour! L'amour!
L'amour est enfant de Bohème,
Il n'a jamais, jamais connu de loi;

Beautiful production/direction! Just wow

I saw this on our SBS TV many years ago and loved it.
words really helped me--i have listened to this often without a clue to its meaning
Its got everything! Love the upskirt action!
This movie is impossible to find online ;---;
It is sad that peoples can only get a snap shot of this beautiful clssic
A work of art is lost, so sad
best quality here in youtube .. thx for sharing !!!!!
Ah! She is the best "Carmen". Stunning talent.
l'amour est comme l'oiseau de twitter, on est bleu de lui seulement pour quarante huit heure....
I once saw a production at the Met in NYC, with Placido Domingo conducting. Awesome.
This is my favorite version of this.
Me facsina la Opera Carmen. Mi abuelita me llevo al Teatro Nacional a ver esta Opera cuando tenia como 10 años y desde entonces me gusto.
Iconic song!!! Who watches this in 2021??? I can`t understand a single word but this song is dripping!!! greetings from germany
Kauf Dir die DVD, der Film von Franceso Rosi mit Julia Migenes und Plácido Domingo ist über 30 Jahre alt.
dieses Video ist Eigentum der Brd
I prefer Carmen to be a Mezzo-soprano, but I also appreciate Julia in the role.😊
Super!!! I wish I could see it live

😮Thanx K2. She's less rough-gurl than other Carmen's I admire. But that voice🎉❗
not gonna lie, one of the reasons why I like this opera is because it shares my name.
:-)
Same
Same 👍👍
The way she sings pas in the chorus is lovely.
So I've known this song my whole life but never knew there were lyrics and it being an opera song until 3 days ago
Beautiful :) I love it !
Exquisite! Her French!!!!! Bravo!
That is the most realistic for me of the Carmen movies ever..I know Spanish women..around them 5 decades..married 2..
Utterly fantastique!
@bahlam65 it's the 1984 film adaptation of "Carmen", simply called that as well.
¡Realmente Magnífica Interpretación!!!!
Лучшая Кармен из всех что видел!
je t'aime carmen , je t'aime Julia 💖💖💖💖
This is so awesome...
2020 still amazing
Did you hear that the Australian Opera Company is not going to have a production of Carmen because there are cigarettes in it?
You're kidding me... :(
And some faked sexual scenes too.. Oh my god..!!!
Seriously wow that's a very very sad story
Why so sensitive and crybabies..
Pathetic reasons..what a great singer and the sexiest performance ever
So beautiful thank you!
I'm going to the opera to see Carmen for my aunt's birthday on the 14th of march 2013
The movie" Carmen" ,from the famous opera from Georges Bizet
me encanta esta canción......
