Editorial Review: Description: Jonas Kaufmann and Anna Caterina Antonacci bring rare erotic intensity to the drama of Don José and Carmen in this darkly passionate reading of one of the most popular operas. With an image up to six times sharper than conventional DVD and superior high-definition sound, Blu-Ray lets you watch opera and ballet performances from the front row of the theater. Experience every detail, no matter how small, in the highest quality possible. With five times the memory of standard DVDs, Blu-Ray is a completely new way to experience the theater at home. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Raises the bar!Until I saw this version, my preferred Carmen was the Rossi film with Julia-Migenes and Placido Domingo. But this is even better. Antonacci is an even more sultry Carmen with a great voice and a superb actress. Kaufmann is handsome and a much better actor than Placido. D'Arcangelo is an extremely virile Escamillo. Plus, the sets and direction create an intimate, intense production. Add to that the wide-screen and superb sound of the blu-ray and you have everything that a video opera should ... Read More: Rating: - Great drama and music. PassionateThe re-instated spoken dialogues are a great addition to the drama unfolding on stage. Kaufman is a great Don Jose. Don Jose's transformation from a serene and controlled soldier to a passionate lover and ultimately to the killer of the source of his almost delirium is dynamically portrayed by Kaufman acting and singing. A real treat. Antonacci as Carmen, that free spirited gypsy that not even in love was willing to give her freedom, captivates you from the start and doesn't let it go through the ... Read More: Rating: - Blu- ray beautyThis is my first exposure to opera on blu-ray. What a great introduction. The audio and video are simply stunning and the cast is outstanding. I cannot wait to see what is coming in the future. For all those who argue endlessly about blu-ray versus upconverted dvds, stop wasting your time and enjoy the latest advancement in home theater. Rating: - Excellent Wide-Screen ProductionAmazon's current listing of the aspect ratio as 1.33:1 is INCORRECT. Like all Blu-Ray productions (that aren't of classic films) Decca's new opera productions on Blu-Ray are 16:9 (or 1.85:1) and anamorphic (according to Ken of the Decca Music Group. |
