CARMEN - Long Story Short 

O

I totally agree with you, you have great taste. Some bells hanging from the nose and a clown hat would be nice but you can't have everything... Hopefully they will soon introduce it as a game at Disneyland though. Fingers crossed.

Thank you so much for your nice comment! Actually we will release another video of her on Monday about Don Giovanni, it will be fun!

You’re seeing the Cracknell prediction with Angel Blue as Michaela! So jealous! I’ll be watching remotely in HD 😊

I think Bugs Bunny was first for me, Arnold was probally 2nd or 3rd. After that I do remember the Beyonce one

well you could turn on captions

I think he meant translations

Unfortunately this performance is no longer viewable as video-on-demand for rights reasons

The tarot cards. Carmen is a gypsy and with her friends she uses tarot cards to read their future.

It was composed by French composer Georges Bizet.

Georges Bizet was a French composer so he wrote the opera in his own language. Kinda like some movies are based in different countries but people still speak English.

@@MirandaSinistra ookay I get it, like thanos who is still speak English, right ?

Bizet was French.

And why are we talking about a French opera based in Spain in English!? 🤯

If I follow your logic, couldn't we say they are also alternatives if you want to understand the deep meaning and the conflict and desire of Carmen then? ;) This is rather to democratise operas and present its stories to a wide public via a refreshing approach. And Mia is super talented imo

@@RyoStiegler Hello Tudy. Yes sure, but ... where do I find them? I mean, not just history, but the metaphysical, and psychological explaination and with a deep reason for, why we still need opera these days. And I also think that its a bit redundant to make a summerise of Carmen, when it is directed in a very classical way. (I was 7 years old watching carmen the first time and even I understood the story) And. imo, if Opera is just there to entertain, the meaning of Opera and Art in general isnt there anymore. I´m sure Merimee wrote Carmen with a certain intention, which is more important than just entertainment. (for that we have enough other things in the 21st century. I just want to say that opera got boring to me once, but after I began to think profoundly about the meaning of the plots and the reasons, why pieces are written, it got me again, and so I decided to become an opera director and started to study opera directing in vienna. ;)

Speak for yourself! Novice me appreciated this tenfold!!

In Spanish it is but this opera is in French

What the hell are you talking about? That's a Chinese production.

Don't be so ungrateful. Mia is brilliant. Where's your sense of humour.
