The Met’s Carmen troubles just got worse
OperaThe Polish tenor Piotr Beczala turned up as Don Jose for last night’s showing of the Met’s new Carmen but audience members tell us he was far from his best:
Mr. Beczala returned for Jan 5th performance and, most respectfully, should not have. Fatigue and/or illness still have the upper hand. He was straining by Act I, vocal cords were completely fatigued in Act III, and he no longer had any connection in the upper register in Act IV. Very painful to watch him struggle through, and I’m sure painfully embarrassing for him.
