Our Take

Ah, the Berliner Philharmoniker under the baton of Sir Simon Rattle taking on Bizet's infamous Carmen - what a delight for the ears! Rattle brings a fresh, quirky take to this classic opera, injecting his own playful energy into the mix.

From the first notes of the overture, the orchestra sweeps you into the sultry world of 19th century Spain, with lush strings and vibrant brass leading the way. Rattle's interpretation of the score is dynamic and full of surprises, keeping you on your toes for the entire journey.

The standout performer here is mezzo-soprano Magdalena Kožená, who delivers a captivating and nuanced portrayal of Carmen. Her voice is rich and velvety, perfectly capturing the seductive and fiery nature of the character.

The supporting cast, including Rolando Villazón as Don José and Anne Sofie von Otter as Micaëla, bring their own unique flair to their roles, adding depth and dimension to the production.

Overall, Sir Simon Rattle and the Berliner Philharmoniker's rendition of Bizet's Carmen is a must-listen for any classical music lover. It's fun, it's quirky, and it's a refreshing take on a timeless classic. Bravo!
