“Carmen is one of the few indisputable masterpieces of its time to be composed for a small theater and Glyndebourne provides a heaven-sent backdrop for this sizzling Peter Hall production”. -The Financial Times

“Carmen, the famous Spanish gypsy portrayed by Maria Ewing, is matched with the sentimental Don José of Barry McCauley”. -The Observer

“Peter Hall has produced a setting that is based upon the original setting in Spain in the middle of the 19th century; the production is to be commended for its emphasis on realism and drama. The costumes look authentic and the production is well lit. Here it must be said that Marie Ewing is quite outstanding. The DVD is well presented and looks and sounds well.” -Music-web International
