Habanera - Carmen - Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO

Habanera (L'amour est un oiseau rebelle) from Carmen, by Georges Bizet
Throaty, seductive notes tumble from the red-red lips of opera’s favourite femme fatale as she teases the soldiers who fawn at her feet. She’s all red silk and bare flesh amongst the tanks and uniforms of this army town. The Habanera is punctuated by the staccato harmonies of the Chorus, draped over giant Hollywood style letters glinting into Sydney Harbour.

[@StevenCampbell1955]

For all of the staging difficulties, Rinat Shaham made a damned fine job of it. I am enthralled with her Carmen.

[@Alfredo-xu3le]

Bellissimo 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@anthony-wo2rg]

Well.

[@sharonsummers]

It sounds flat, just like she doesn't quite ever hit the notes straight on.

Sharon Summers I noticed the same thing

[@GLADORISIMA]

horrible puesta.....Carmen se presenta en la habanera y hay que prestar atención a la letra...claro es en francés...un desprestigio de la escena

[@loveoyeledun8914]

This is horrible.
