About This Movie
Bizet's Carmen, recorded live from Oper Zurich in 2008 and released on DVD in 2014, offers a raw and intense experience. The staging is stark, which really allows the emotional weight of the story to shine through. Jonas Kaufmann brings a brooding energy to Don José, shedding his youthful naivety as the narrative unfolds. Vesselina Kasarova's Carmen is magnetic, commanding attention with every move. The pacing feels almost relentless at times, matching the tumultuous themes of love, obsession, and tragedy. The performances are what stand out here—Kaufmann's voice is rich and powerful, while Kasarova's presence is both alluring and haunting. This production is definitely a take on Carmen that lingers with you long after the final notes.
