...most erotic of versions. In one scene of the opera, Carmen does a striptease, then lolls on a bed in her underwear, grabbing at Don José. Later the couple fall into bed and, through some miraculous exercise of lung power, manage to sing their love duet while they are passionately embracing...
Cornell will be accompanied by his wife, Agneta Ekmanner, an actress who has starred in two of his films and in Susan Sontag's Duet for Cannibals...
