NOTES: |
This was in 19th century. In the 19th century Seville, the lusty, tempestuous Carmen (Migenes Johnson), seduces a naive army corporal, Don Jose (Domingo), newly assigned to the village fortress. Jose abandons his career, his fiancée and even his dying mother for the love of this sultry gypsy. But soon she spurns him in favor of toreador, Escamillo (Ruggero Raimondi). Crazed with jealousy, Jose begs Carmen to return to him but her taunting declaration of independence results in tragedy. Shot entirely on location in Andalusian Spain. BIZET'S CARMEN has been hailed as the definitive version of this classic opera. |
