If you’re not living life on the edge, you’re taking up too much space.

Brilliant Carmen

Went to Opera Queensland’s Carmen the other day and was very impressed. Excellent set, great orchestra and chorus, very good principals and a brilliant Yvonne Fontane as Carmen. I’ve seen six or seven productions of this opera over the years and this was the best of them, due in large part to the performance of the title role. Ms Fontane has the voice, the body and the acting to carry off this rather challenging role—even for opera, it’s pretty implausible. We loved it.
