The hottest Carmen is Aigul Akhmetshina.
They were both at Glyndebourne last summer. I didn’t hear Akhmetshina, but Chaieb was absolutely stellar, both dramatically and vocally (and, personally, I enjoyed a Carmen with a Québécois flair!).
The world is big enough for two great Carmens, and more (Arquez, Margaine, etc.).
We clearly define “hot” differently.
