Who? (Except for Jovanovich of course).
Someone has a maths problem if they think that 35 tickets (the highest number for any remaining performance) is plentiful in an auditorium seating over 2200!
Perhaps the comment reflected the dull and dreary production, which would have been derided had Ms Aigul A. not performed so powerfully
Absolutely. Her singing is divine. Better enjoy it with the eyes closed. The production is awful indeed.
At this late stage, 35 is a lot for any opera at ROH, particularly bog standard Carmen in May. Normally well and truly sold out, but still expensive.
Adam Smith is a brilliant tenor
Adam is certainly a tenor to look out for.
I was rather surprised at your comment about tickets being in plentiful supply as Carmen tends to be sold out at most opera houses whatever the cast! The number of tickets available for the three May dates you mention are 13, 19 and 33! Hardly “plentiful”! Apology to the Royal Opera?!
Did they both get sick or did they pullout from this production?
Vasilisa Berzhanskaya is currently in London and rehearsing, she is down to sing the last three shows so maybe there was a change in dates between casts for other reasons.
No wonder tickets are plentiful it’s an awful production
