Georges Bizet | Bizet: Carmen | DVD

Georges Bizet was a French composer whose music combines vivid melodic writing with expressive orchestral colour. His work for the theatre develops characters through contrasting vocal and instrumental passages, giving dramatic movement an important place in the music.

Carmen presents the Royal Opera production conducted by Antonio Pappano on DVD. Anna Caterina Antonacci and Jonas Kaufmann are among the featured performers, bringing Bizet's vocal writing and stage drama together in an audiovisual presentation.
