Daniel Barenboim

Bizet’s Carmen is reputed to be the most famous opera in the world. Maestro Daniel Barenboim presents his musical view on this classic opera. Marina Domashenko's rich mezzo-soprano voice makes her ideal for the title role in Carmen. After the premiere the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung wrote about Rolando Villazón: “A perfect José, sung as he hasn’t been sung in a long time… This young Mexican tenor alone makes it worth seeing.” The new Carmen by stage Director Martin Kušej is one of the current significant opera events.
