Beautifully sung, magnificently staged version of Bizet's opera .

Reviewed by Chris Tookey


More straightforward than Saura's version, of the previous year. Placido Domingo doesn't carry off any acting honours as Don Jose, but Julia Migenes-Johnson sizzles, and the Andalusian locations are spectacular.
