FREE: Carmen from Lille

Judging from the photos and a few video excerpts,  Carmen --produced by Jean-François Sivadier and his team-- that will be premiered tonight at Opéra de Lille, looks interesting.
You may wish to see/listen to the second show live from Lille. Next Friday, May 14, at 20:00 (cet), it will be live broadcast via the France3 website.

Cast: Stéphanie d’Oustrac Carmen, Gordon Gietz Don José, Olga Pasichnyk Micaëla, Jean-Luc Ballestra Escamillo

Here you can find a video add made for the regional TV France3 (contains images from the final dress rehearsal).

Ed: The show is available for free viewing on the same site.

4 minutes for Roxana sung by Olga Pasichnyk

Olga Pasichnyk will appear tonight at TCE in Gloria by Poulenc, which is a good reason to go and listen to this live.

She was singing Roxana last June at Opera Bastille, in a sensational Krzysztof Warlikowski's production of  "Krol Roger" by Szymanowski -- the show that I went to see 6 times [how crazy is that?!]

Take 4 minutes of your precious time to enjoy this brilliance...
