Reviews : 

Reviews The New York Times: “That Daring Gypsy Strikes Again, and Anew “We all know Bizet’s “Carmen,” or think we do. Its familiarity is the greatest challenge to any company presenting it. The acclaimed English director Richard Eyre made this point repeatedly in interviews before the opening of his new Metropolitan Opera production of “Carmen.” Without resorting to gratuitous touches and provocative changes to the opera, he said, he wanted to subvert the familiarity so that audiences would leave shocked and awed yet also touched by this 1875 masterpiece. “ Read the rest of this rave review at the following link http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/02/arts/music/02carmen.html?scp=3&sq=carmen&st=cse New York Magazine: “After 24 Years, the Met Finally Has a Great ‘Carmen’ Again” “Four years into his tenure as general manager of the Metropolitan Opera, and midway through the first season he planned from scratch, Peter Gelb turns out to be neither the Destroyer of Worlds that some feared or the savior that others hoped. He’s a pragmatic, flexible executive of the world’s biggest and busiest performing-arts outfit, boldly leading from the middle. The high point of the fall was a searing staging of a modern rarity (From the House of the Dead) that had been thoroughly road-tested in Europe. The low point was an essentially retro Tosca that passed itself off as avant-garde. Somewhere in between sat a fussy and gloomy production of Les contes d’Hoffmann, directed by the Broadway-certified Bartlett Sher. Gelb has deftly piloted the company out of its monumentalist phase, when every production looked as though it had been built to last an eternity. The company’s tacit new motto might be: Even a fiasco’s not forever.” Read the rest of the review at the following link http://nymag.com/arts/classicaldance/classical/reviews/63030/
