Why has Carmen been, since 1875, one of the world's most popular operas? Seattle Opera Dramaturg Jonathan Dean introduces this beloved masterpiece with musical examples from Seattle Opera's archival recordings of Carmen: from 1995, with Greer Grimsley as Escamillo (conducted by Steven Sloane); from 2004, with Stephanie Blythe (Carmen) and Paul Charles Clarke (Don José), conducted by George Manahan; and from 2011, with Anita Rachvelishvili (Carmen), Fernando de la Mora (Don José), and Norah Amsellem (Micaëla), conducted by Pier Giorgio Morandi.

Nous sommes le 3 mars 1875, à Paris. C'est ce jour-là qu'est créée, sur la scène de l'Opéra-Comique, « Carmen », l'œuvre, en quatre actes, de Georges Bizet, l'un des compositeurs les plus reconnus de la période romantique, sur un livret d'Henri Meilhac et Ludovic Halévy, adapté d'une nouvelle de Prosper Mérimée. L'action se passe à Séville et dans ses environs, au début du XIXe siècle. Carmen, qui exerce l'activité de cigarière (elle fabrique des cigarettes à la main), est une jeune bohémienne a l'âme fougueuse. Elle séduit les hommes et provoque des bagarres. Emprisonnée, elle promet son amour au brigadier Don José afin s'évader. Mais une fois libre, elle oublie le soldat et tombe sous le charme du torero Escamillo. « Carmen » est bien une histoire d'amour et de sang. Aujourd'hui, l'opéra de Bizet est l'un des plus joués au monde. A l'époque de sa création, la réception fut mitigée : une partie de la critique et du public relevèrent son côté scabreux. On commente abondamment les femmes fumant la cigarette sur les planches, la représentation d'un monde de la corrida aussi festif que mortifère, un homme tuant son ancienne maîtresse sous les yeux des spectatrices et des spectateurs, la profusion et la richesse des décors et des costumes qui offrent une vision, à la fois, fantasmée et réaliste de l'Espagne. Et puis, on prend parti : pour ou contre Célestine Galli-Marié, interprète hors normes de la scandaleuse gitane, se déhanchant et amadouant les mâles, en jouant de son regard et de sa voix. Ainsi « Carmen » s'inscrit-elle dans l'histoire des arts et de leurs scandales retentissants, elle est imprégnée de la culture visuelle et littéraire de son temps où l'on croisent Manet, Courbet, Zola et Dumas. Quelles ont été les conditions de la naissance de l'opéra de Bizet ? Peut-on reconstituer les images vues par le public des années 1870 ? En quoi l'œuvre est-elle une rupture dans la manière de raconter les histoires sur scène ?

Merche Mar es una figura emblemática del mundo del espectáculo español, especialmente reconocida por su destacada trayectoria en el célebre Molino del Paralelo de Barcelona. Su fascinante historia comienza en un contexto inesperado: de niña, estudió en un colegio de monjas, un contraste notorio con su posterior carrera en el mundo del music hall. Desde temprana edad, demostró su pasión por el brillo y el glamour, cultivando habilidades en el piano y el ballet que la llevaron a debutar en el escenario del Molino a los 15 años. Aunque sus padres tenían preferencia por el acordeón, Merche encontró su camino gracias a Doña Vicenta, propietaria del Molino, quien le brindó la oportunidad de mostrar su talento. A pesar de enfrentar la censura de la época, Merche supo sortear las restricciones con ingenio, utilizando letras de canciones con doble sentido y chistes velados. Su carisma y agudeza dialéctica la convirtieron en una estrella del cabaret, atrayendo incluso a figuras como Picasso, Fellini y Dalí. Admiradora de grandes artistas como Escamillo, Johnson y La Bella Dorita, Merche se ganó el título de "reina de los gays" y se convirtió en la última estrella del Molino. Tras el cierre del icónico local en 1997, continuó su carrera en giras junto al cómico Diomny. Sin embargo, su legado resurgió con la reapertura del Molino en 2010, donde ejerció como maestra de ceremonias hasta su cierre definitivo en 2013. Aunque nunca se casó ni tuvo hijos, Merche Mar sigue siendo una presencia destacada en la vida social de Barcelona, asistiendo a numerosos eventos y estrenos. Su historia es un testimonio de resiliencia y pasión por el espectáculo, que continúa inspirando a nuevas generaciones.

durée : 01:00:31 - Le baryton Jean-Sébastien Bou - par : Benoît Duteurtre - "Depuis plus de 20 ans, Jean-Sébastien Bou s'est illustré dans les grands rôles de baryton, de l'opéra français, de Valentin à Marouf, en passant par Pelléas ou Escamillo. Il est aussi un terrible Don Giovanni et sa curiosité le pousse vers les œuvres méconnues ..." Benoît Duteurtre - réalisé par : Davy Travailleur

Diese Folge ist die wohl persönlichste für mich, denn sie portraitiert den wichtigsten Menschen in meiner Gesangsausbildung. Die Oper fiel ihm eigentlich eher zufällig in den Schoß, galt doch seine erste Liebe als ehemaliger Chorknabe dem Konzertpodium. Doch schnell, rückblickend etwas zu schnell sogar, wie er selbst anmerkt, findet er sich auf den größten Bühnen und Konzertsälen der Welt wieder. Ganze dreizehn Jahre ist die Berliner Staatsoper unter den Linden sein musikalisches Haus, wo er sich unter der Leitung Daniel Barenboims in verschiedenen Fächern ausprobieren darf und als Figaro, Leporello, Escamillo, Amfortas und schließlich sogar Rheingold-Wotan die Berliner begeistert. Doch daneben ist es immer wieder auch die Kirchen- und Kammermusik, die sein künstlerisches Schaffen abrunden. Warum er einen Konflikt mit Dirigenten nicht scheut, wenn es musikalische Fragen betrifft, wieso wir mittlerweile große Defizite in der musikalischen Bildung haben und weshalb es wichtig ist, die Familie über seinen Beruf zu stellen, davon berichtet der großartige Bass-Bariton und Professor für Gesang Hanno Müller-Brachmann.

Carmen - the world's most performed opera - is set to be staged again by the Kuala Lumpur City Opera, and will feature a double cast for the leading roles of Carmen, Don José, Escamillo, and Micäela. Perhaps French composer Georges Bizet's best known work, Carmen expressively features depictions of love, obsession and jealousy, and has become a fixture in opera houses' repertoire worldwide. We find out what's in store from this particular staging of the beloved opera from cast member Yap Jin Hin, who plays the role of Don Jose, and Mak Chi Hoe, who plays the role of Escamillo, and who is also the chorus master of the KL City Opera.Image credit: KL City Opera

Spanisches Flair pur verströmt Bizets "Carmen", dabei war der Komponist selbst nie in Spanien. Den Siegeszug seiner mitreißenden Oper im Stil des Hispanismo kann Bizet nicht mehr genießen. Er stirbt wenige Monate nach der Uraufführung 1875. (Autor: Christoph Vratz und Michael Lohse) Von Christoph Vratz.

Recognized by Opera News as “one of the finest singers of his generation,” American bass-baritone Ryan McKinny has earned his reputation as an artist with something to say. His relentless curiosity informs riveting character portrayals and beautifully crafted performances, reminding audiences of their shared humanity with characters on stage and screen. This season, McKinny brings his agile stage presence and comedic skill to performances of Mozart's Le nozze di Figaro on both U.S. coasts. He first appears as the titular Figaro in a Richard Eyre production at New York City's Metropolitan Opera, with an all-star cast that includes Golda Schultz, Lucy Crowe, Isabel Leonard, and Adam Plachetka. He then makes his Seattle Opera debut reprising the role in a Peter Kazaras production, under the baton of Alevtina Ioffe. In between productions – and coasts – McKinny joins collaborative pianist Kathleen Kelly for a recital at the Lied Center of Kansas, featuring works by Schumann, Debussy, Mahler, and Kurt Weill. In summer 2022, he joins the Boston Symphony at Tanglewood as the title character in Don Giovanni, with Andris Nelsons on the podium. He concludes the season with the Philadelphia Orchestra at Saratoga Performing Arts Center, appearing as soloist in Beethoven's Ninth Symphony with conductor Yannick Nézet-Séguin. Offstage, McKinny continues to adapt the beauty of his art form to the film screen, collaborating on a documentary with Jamie Barton and Stephanie Blythe. Through his work with Helio Arts, he commissions artists to write, direct, and film original stories, leveraging his personal power to help elevate new voices and visions in the classical performing arts world. During the pandemic, he has partnered with artists like J'Nai Bridges, Russell Thomas, John Holiday, and Julia Bullock to create stunning and innovative performances for streaming audiences at Dallas Opera, Houston Grand Opera, Lyric Opera of Chicago, On Site Opera, and the Glimmerglass Festival. McKinny's recent debut as Joseph De Rocher in Jake Heggie and Terrence McNally's Dead Man Walking at Lyric Opera of Chicago was hailed by the Chicago Tribune as an “an indelible performance...an acting tour de force buttressed by a warmly inviting voice.” He has also appeared as the title character in Don Giovanni (Washington National Opera, Lyric Opera of Chicago, Houston Grand Opera), Escamillo in Carmen (Semperoper Dresden, Deutsche Oper Berlin, Staatsoper Hamburg, Houston Grand Opera), and Mozart's Figaro (Washington National Opera, Wolf Trap Opera, Houston Grand Opera). McKinny made a critically acclaimed Bayreuth Festival debut as Amfortas in Parsifal, a role he has performed around the world, including appearances at Argentina's Teatro Cólon, Deutsche Oper am Rhein, and Dutch National Opera. Other Wagnerian roles include Kurwenal in Tristan und Isolde (Deutsche Oper Berlin, Houston Grand Opera, Canadian Opera Company), Biterolf in Tannhäuser and Kothner in Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg, both at the Metropolitan Opera, Wotan in Opéra de Montréal's Das Rheingold, Donner/Gunther in Wagner's Ring cycle (Washington National Opera, Boston Symphony Orchestra, Houston Grand Opera), and the titular Dutchman in Der fliegende Holländer (Staatsoper Hamburg, Milwaukee Symphony, Glimmerglass Festival, Hawaii Opera Theater). McKinny is a frequent guest artist at Los Angeles Opera, where he has sung Count Alamaviva in Le nozze di Figaro, Don Basilio in Il barbiere di Siviglia, and Stanley Kowalski in Previn's A Streetcar Named Desire, opposite Renée Fleming as Blanche DuBois, and at Santa Fe Opera, where he has appeared as Jochanaan in Salome and Oppenheimer in Doctor Atomic. An alumnus of the Houston Grand Opera Studio, Mr. McKinny has made a number of important role debuts on the HGO mainstage, including the iconic title roles of Don Giovanni and Rigoletto. McKinny is a long-time artistic collaborator of composer John Adams and director Peter Sellars, having appeared in Sellars productions of Adams' Girls of the Golden West (San Francisco Opera, Dutch National Opera) and Doctor Atomic (Santa Fe Opera), in addition to Adams' Nixon in China with the Los Angeles Philharmonic. He has also performed under Sellars' direction in Stravinsky's Oedipus Rex (Sydney Festival), Tristan und Isolde (Canadian Opera Company), and Shostakovich's Orango with the London Philharmonia and Los Angeles Philharmonic, the latter comprising Esa-Pekka Salonen's final concerts as music director. Other recent orchestral engagements include Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 and a double bill of Michael Tilson Thomas' Rilke Songs and Mahler's Des Knaben Wunderhorn with San Francisco Symphony, Mahler's Symphony No. 8 and Bernstein's Mass with Gustavo Dudamel and the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 with Cleveland Orchestra and National Symphony, Rossini's Stabat Mater at Grant Park Music Festival, Britten's War Requiem with Marin Alsop and Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, and Oedipus Rex with Chicago Symphony. McKinny benefited from early educational opportunities at the Aspen Music Festival, where he sang his first performance of Winterreise accompanied on the piano by Richard Bado, and at the Wolf Trap Opera Company, where he sang Barone di Kelbar in Verdi's Un giorno di regno, Le Gouverneur in Rossini's Le comte Ory and Figaro in Le nozze di Figaro. McKinny made his Carnegie Hall debut in Handel's Messiah with the Musica Sacra Orchestra while still a student at the Juilliard School. The first recipient of Operalia's Birgit Nilsson Prize for singing Wagner, McKinny has also received the prestigious George London-Kirsten Flagstad Award, presented by the George London Foundation to a singer undertaking a significant Wagnerian career. McKinny represented the United States in the 2007 BBC Cardiff Singer of the World Competition, where he was a finalist in the Rosenblatt Recital Song Prize, and he was a Grand Finalist in the 2007 Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions, captured in the film The Audition.

ROSSELLA BRESCIA in CARMENtesti, regia e coreografia di Luciano Cannito musica di George Bizet e Marco Schiavonicon i solisti della Roma City Ballet Company e l'attore Massimo ZannolaRepliche dal Giovedì al Sabato ore 20.45 – Domenica ore 17.00Un gruppo di profughi sbarca a Lampedusa dopo un viaggio allucinante, sfruttati dallo scafista “Escamillo” e braccati dalle forze dell'ordine comandate dal severo maresciallo dei Carabinieri “Don Josè”.L'amore travolgente tra Carmen e Don Josè, il tentativo di quest'ultimo di piegare il fiero spirito ribelle della sua amata ad una vita perbene, fatta di routine, belle passeggiate e tanta televisione. La passione si trasforma in noia, solitudine, angoscia. Carmen, non sa e non può vivere in una gabbia di mediocrità.Fugge e torna dai suoi amici al campo profughi. Fugge tra le braccia di Escamillo, ben consapevole di quello che l'aspetta…La potenza della musica di Bizet è riuscita a far diventare il nome “Carmen” un archetipo universale della cultura dell'Occidente.Dire Carmen è un po' come dire passione estrema, voluttà, forza e istinto.Carmen è il sole dei Sud, la felice disperazione di possedere solo se stessi e la propria libertà.La mia Carmen è forse semplicemente questo. Immaginata nell'isola di Lampedusa, isola del Sud per la ricca e annoiata Europa, mitico Nord per centinaia di disperati e profughi in fuga chissà da dove e chissà per quanto tempo.Don Josè è il potere, Escamillo il successo, Carmen la libertà.Storie, del resto, sotto i nostri occhi dalla mattina alla sera.Carmen può essere oggi una siriana, un'afghana, una pakistana, una sudanese e non ha paura di rischiare tutto per la propria libertà. E' una giovane donna che, come una leonessa, sa di possedere forza, bellezza, potenza e libertà. Carmen sa di essere ricca di quella ricchezza che non si può comprare.E' invece Don Josè ad essere un poveraccio imbrigliato nella sua burocratica e sicura armatura di maschio occidentale ad avere tutto da perdere contro chi non ha nulla da perdere.E poi c'è Escamillo dell'Opera di Bizet. Il grande torero. Il “macho”, diremmo noi oggi. Straordinario ritratto anche questo, di personaggio archetipo. L'uomo del successo, l'uomo della gloria effimera. Tutto sommato l'uomo della superficialità.La storia di Carmen termina con la morte di Carmen, ma il vero perdente è Don Josè che resta vivo, ucciso però nell'anima, nella fede e nella speranza.Ce lo racconterà di persona il vecchio maresciallo dalla sua galera del corpo e dell'anima, rivedendo come in un film la sua unica grande storia d'amore, i suoi errori, il suo orgoglio di animale ferito.

Tenor Robert Watson, our Don Jose in Carmen opening this week, has a lot to say about this character. Jose has one of the most interesting character arcs in all opera, moving from lyrical naif to obsessive lover with all of the musical changes that arc demands. The young singer talks about his beginnings as well, hailing from Kansas City (like colleague co-star Scott Conner, our Escamillo) and coming up through the ranks in the German fest system. Enjoy! 

Bass Scott Conner sings the role of Escamillo in our production of Carmen by Georges Bizet. Listening to this voice...even his speaking voice...you'll want to hear him let loose in the Civic Theatre with the wonderful Toreador Song, an entrance aria like no other! Scott hails from Kansas City and in this interview he talks about his background, his studies and the roles that he's portraying all over the world. On top of it, he's a delightful guy! Enjoy. 

Why has Carmen been, since 1875, one of the world’s most popular operas? Seattle Opera Dramaturg Jonathan Dean introduces this beloved masterpiece with musical examples from Seattle Opera’s archival recordings of Carmen: from 1995, with Greer Grimsley as Escamillo (conducted by Steven Sloane); from 2004, with Stephanie Blythe (Carmen) and Paul Charles Clarke (Don José), conducted by George Manahan; and from 2011, with Anita Rachvelishvili (Carmen), Fernando de la Mora (Don José), and Norah Amsellem (Micaëla), conducted by Pier Giorgio Morandi.

Han har uppnått enorma framgångar inom olika delar av scenkonsten. Opera, teater, film, musikal, operett, storbandsjazz och den klassiska konsertrepertoaren är exempel på områden där han prisats. I säsongspremiären gästas vi av Loa Falkman, vars karriär sträcker sig över fem decennier. Under årens lopp har han sjungit en mängd titelroller, som exempelvis Don Giovanni, Rigoletto, Wozzeck och Falstaff, men Loa har satt sin prägel på otaliga karaktärer, inte minst som Escamillo i Peter Brooks uppsättning av La Tragédie de Carmen på 1980-talet. Samtidigt har han rönt stor framgång inom andra delar av scenkonsten och innehar både Guldbaggen för bästa skådespelare och Guldmasken för bästa musikalsångare.   I Operahuset berättar han bland annat hur fascinationen för opera uppstod och vilken inspelning som fick honom att cykla hem på lunchrasten under skoltiden. Dessutom blir det några råd om sångteknik och vad man som sångare bör göra för att bibehålla sin vokala form. Programmet sänds i repris tisdagen den 25 september kl. 14.56 i P2.

Carmen is an opera in four acts by French composer Georges Bizet. It is set in Seville, southern Spain, and tells the story of the downfall of Don José, a naïve soldier who is seduced by the wiles of the fiery gypsy Carmen. José abandons his childhood sweetheart and deserts from his military duties, yet loses Carmen's love to the glamorous torero Escamillo, after which José kills her in a jealous rage. The depictions of proletarian life, immorality, and lawlessness, and the tragic death of the main character on stage, broke new ground in French opera and were highly controversial. The libretto is based on a novella of the same title by Prosper Mérimée. This show was recorded live in the KHOL Studio on September 3, 2017

A fan favorite at Central City, baritone Michael Mayes is back this summer as Escamillo in Carmen. On this episode, Mike talks about the difference between singing this kind of a role versus roles he’s done in the past at CCO, and he digs into the psychology of the lead characters. Mike also shares what it’s like having his wife Megan Marino here (Despina in this season’s Cosi fan tutte) and gives his opinion on why Carmen is being performed all the time, around the world. We also talk about the art of bleeping…there’s a lot of laughing. Have questions or want to provide feedback? Email us at podcast@centralcityopera.org.

Cari amici, About 40 long years ago, I attended the first rehearsal of Donizetti's "Anna Bolena," at the home of our illustrious maestro and one of my mentors in life, Armen Boyajian. Marisa Galvany (one of her many phony names) was the Bolena (and I loved looking down her throat to see where those phenomenal E flats came from). Then there was this young dude named Sam Ramey, who opened his mouth and out came some of the greatest sounds we ever heard. Gee... maybe he will make it some day, we all exclaimed! Now, as we celebrate Sam's 25th anniversary at the Met, and a 40 year professional career, singing an incredible range of roles and becoming one of the opera icons of our time, we feel so fortunate that he left Kansas to find an "Oz" of magic all over the opera world. I therefore wish to celebrate with you Sam's Met anniversary, and a fabulous career. I still relish those old tapes of our Bartolo/Basilio and am so fortunate I was able to be in on a tiny part of an illustrious career. I recall Sam once telling us about that skinny chain-smoking guy with the enormous voice by the name of Norman Treigle, and how he admired him. Well, they did so many of the same roles (Mefistofele, Boris,Blitch,Escamillo, The Hoffmann villains,Don Giovanni, Figaro,etc.). Happily, Sam Ramey has been able to follow along in this tradition, with so many great performances of a huge number of roles,a remarkable number of recordings, and engagements in every important opera theatre in the opera world. So..a happy 25th Met anniversary to a dear sweet and brilliantly talented guy and all my best to him and to his lovely wife and son (who also has a high F#...and more!) With my sincerest best wishes       Charlie   Excerpts are from  Italiana,Lombardi,Rinaldo,Attila, Mefistofele, Comte D'Ory, Semiramide,Susannah, South Pacific.                              (65 min.)
