Reputed as one of the most famous operas in the world, Georges Bizet's "Carmen" features its
renowned musical repertoire presented through Maestro Daniel Barenboim's musical view on the
classic play. Directed by Martin Kušej, this is one of the most significant contemporary opera events.
Carmen is payed by mezzo-soprano Marina Domashenko. Tenor Rolando Villazon was celebrated for
his role as A perfect José, sung as he hasn't been sung in a long time.."FAZ). The skillfully composed
music injects a sensual mood that magnifies the performance's dramatic allure, on stage at Berlin State
Opera.
