Peter Mattei and Ying Fang sing an excerpt from the title character and Zerlina’s Act I duet in an early dress rehearsal. Production: Ivo van Hove. Conductor: Nathalie Stutzmann. 2022-23 season. Videography by Neville Braithwaite.
To me, Zerlina is all wrong. I think she's more of a Rosina from ill barbiere than a Carmen. Besides, if she were looking for an affair, she would not have screamed when Giovanni took her at the end of Act I.
My daughter and I were fortunate to see this in HD, last night. The experience was unforgettable. Ying's voice is so beautiful. Peter Mattei plays his part perfectly...fantastic performances, all around.
Saw this in HD. The singing and acting were sublime. The camera work was so well done, focused on the singers, which took your mind off the starkness of the set design.
