Bizet Carmen (2014)

Directed by Felix Breisach, Matthias Hartmann

Overview

Live recording from Oper Zurich, 2008, DVD release 2014.  Jonas Kaufmann, ‘the Prince of Tenors’, appears with international star Vesselina Kasarova in Zürich Opera’s starkly palpable staging of Bizet’s ever-popular Carmen. The production sees Don José (Kaufmann) abandon his teenage attitudes in pursuit of Kasarova’s free and independent Carmen - realising too late that his self-control has vanished, along with his youth.

Length 166 minutes
