A British Socialist Opera Director - Carrie Cracknell Ruins the Latest Metropolitan Opera's Production of "Carmen".
The latest premiere took place on Sat. Jan. 27 - 2024 and it "laid a huge egg" which means the public hated it even though some Leftist/Snobs - critics - loved it "to death". In essence - the old time, popular opera favorite "Carmen" - is usually produced with the emphasize on beautifully designed costumes as well as with a display of imaginative - set designs. However - this latest "modern"/Leftist slanted - version - is set in current times - at some bus station - thus a fine, well established international mezzosoprano - Aigul Akhmetshina - wears cut off jeans which make her look stupid.
The international opera star Aigul Akhmetshina with a smooth mezzo voice is from Ukraine, but she is a member of the Moslem looking minority who has always lived in Ukraine; anyway - instead of a nice costume - this proven, international opera diva had to wear some goofy looking cut off jeans which made her look like a village idiot - all because of Carrie Cracknell - a British Leftist's director's - demented Socialist -vision.
We have been quoting above - almost verbatim - an opera critic - David Salazar - who published this scathing review in the "Opera Wire" from Jan. 03 - 2024 - however - we agree with him - at least 100 percent and more.
Moreover - for the part of her lover - Don Jose - which is normally - cast with a good looking, young tenor - they chose - instead - an older, old uncle - appearing - performer - who has - absolutely no love chemistry with Carmen. In addition - the Metropolitan Opera people have the nerve to attempt to charge $271 for the cheapest ticket - which nobody - in their right mind - will pay after they see a preview of this production.
A few days before the opening of the aforementioned new version of "Carmen" - Christianne Amanpour - another rich/hypocritical - Leftist activist - pretending to be a journalist - showed some clips from this new production during her nightly CNN Leftist/Socialist slanted - news show.
Enough said - in addition to being a "contrived Leftist propaganda" - according to the opera critic David Salazar - the production is "boring" and "never ends".
As everybody - probably - surmised - by now - we wouldn't recommend this version of "Carmen" even though this opera - composed by a French composer - George Bizet - has been an absolutely successful masterpiece - ever since it was first produced - on March 03 - 1875 in Paris.
