Roberto Alagna

REVIEW CARMEN at the Opéra national de Paris on 16/07/2017 | "A glorious and unforgettable night, a superlative vocal and dramatic performance" by Gustavo Gabriel Otero for Mundoclasico

EXCERPT (translated from Spanish): "The voice and play [of Elina Garança as Carmen] combined excellently with Roberto Alagna's Don Jose to make this evening a glorious and unforgettable night. The French tenor, who particularly loves this staging by Bieito, delivered a superlative vocal and dramatic performance, to which he added his impeccable French diction. He rendered the flower's aria with feeling and perfection and, in the final scene, he gave a real lesson of acting and singing. [...] In short: a first-rate cast to close the opera season in Paris. "
