Carmen - Bizet - Metropolitan Opera -Baltsa, Carreras

Carmen is a French opéra comique by Georges Bizet. The libretto is by Henri Meilhac and Ludovic Halévy, based on the novella of the same title by Prosper Mérimée, first published in 1845,[1] itself influenced by the narrative poem The Gypsies (1824) by Alexander Pushkin.[2] Mérimée had read the poem in Russian by 1840 and translated it into French in 1852.[3] The opera premiered at the Opéra-Comique of Paris on 3 March 1875, but its opening run was denounced by the majority of critics.[4] It was almost withdrawn after its fourth or fifth performance, and although this was avoided, ultimately having 48 performances in its first run,[5] it did little to bolster sagging receipts at the Opéra-Comique. Near the end of this run, the theatre was giving tickets away in order to stimulate attendance. Bizet died of a heart attack, aged 36, on 3 June 1875, never knowing how popular Carmen would become. In October 1875 it was produced in Vienna, to critical and popular success, which began its path to worldwide popularity.[6] It was not staged again at the Opéra Comique until 1883. Since the 1880s it has been one of the world's most performed operas[7] and a staple of the operatic repertoire. Carmen appears as number four on Opera America's list of the 20 most-performed operas in North America. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0255868/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carmen http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agnes_Baltsa http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jos%C3%A9_Carreras Video #2 ID : 2 Format : VC-1 Format profile : MP@ML Codec ID : WMV3 Codec ID/Info : Windows Media Video 9 Codec ID/Hint : WMV3 Duration : 2h 43mn Bit rate mode : Variable Bit rate : 1 000 Kbps Width : 640 pixels Height : 480 pixels Display aspect ratio : 4/3 Frame rate : 25.000 fps Resolution : 24 bits Scan type : Progressive Bits/(Pixel*Frame) : 0.130 Stream size : 1.14 GiB (90%) Audio #1 ID : 1 Format : WMA2 Format profile : L Codec ID : 161 Codec ID/Info : Windows Media Audio 2 Description of the codec : Windows Media Audio 9.2 - 96 kbps, 44 kHz, stereo 2-pass VBR Duration : 2h 43mn Bit rate mode : Variable Bit rate : 96.1 Kbps Channel(s) : 2 channels Sampling rate : 44.1 KHz Resolution : 16 bits Stream size : 112 MiB (9%) Please seed at least as much as you D/L. ======================================= Thanks John
