...work into a gypsy folk opera. This Carmen does not carry a rose in her teeth; she would bite it off. Don Jose is no innocent victim of Carmen's wiles; to her obvious fascination, he is a brute with enough temper to kill. With the hauntingly Iberian sets by Czech Designer Josef Svoboda, one can believe that Seville is steaming hot (it literally is: 280,000 watts of light beam down on the cast from behind the proscenium), that Pastia's tavern is a fun place to go, that the mountain pass is desolate enough to make...

Fluctuating between cultivated neo-Classicism and the primieval wildness of his Iberian style, the works on display reveal his ultimate success in blending his findings into...
