She was formerly with TACT for just over a year.

    From the headline, I was expecting it to be Inter Milan swooping in…

    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.
