Bizet: Carmen - Callas, Gedda (Salle Wagram, Paris 1964) [Subtitles]

Bizet’s “Carmen“ featuring Maria Callas and Nicolai Gedda, conducted by Georges Prêtre at Salle Wagram in Paris in 1964, is considered one of the greatest interpretations of the opera. Maria Callas’ portrayal of Carmen is renowned for its fiery passion and emotional intensity, and Nicolai Gedda’s performance as Don José is equally powerful. The recording also features the Orchestre de l’Opéra national de Paris, which delivers a dynamic and precise performance under Prêtre’s skilled direction. This recording has been praised for its high-quality sound and faithful representation of the original performance. It has been meticulously remastered from the original taps in 2014 and remains a popular choice for fans of opera and Classical Music.
