Plot

A faithful rendition of the popular opera with Lorin Maazel conducting the Orchestre National de France in a first-rate performance. Domingo's bemused passion as the simple soldier is backed by his magnificent burnished tones and warm-voiced Migenes is suitably sensual as the wild gypsy Carmen.
