Earlier that evening, British theater director Carrie Cracknells reimaginedCarmendebuted on the Metropolitan Opera stage.
The idea behind the setting?
Starring in the role is Aigul Akhmetshina, a 27-year-old mezzo-soprano who is no stranger to the role.
Star of “Carmen,” Aigul Akhmetshina dances after her debut performance.
This is the seventh production ofCarmenfor me.
There, cast, crew, and Met Opera patrons gathered for a celebratory dinner and dancing.
