This rendition of Bizet's "Carmen" is an excellent presentation. It is the story of poor, cigarette factory worker Carmen (Julia Migenes) who is a very driven woman. She bewitches Don Jose (Placido Domingo) and then takes off with a group of gypsies–only to be killed at story's end by a very jealous Don Jose who is upset with her new relationship with Escamillo (Ruggero Raimondi). Very enjoyable fare for opera fans and non-fans as well.
