Богатейшее сопрано, невероятно чувственная игра. Это самая сексуальная, чувственная Кармен из всех которых я видела и слушала. Кошачьи голубые глаза безумно страстные, они задевают восхищают, ее хочеться любить и ненавидеть, невозможно остаться равнодушной к этой животной сексуальности. Сильные красивые ноги, потрясающая грудь.
Elina Garanca as one of the most vocally stimulating and visually alluring Carmens in recent memory, places Don José's self-destructive decisions into proper perspective: Under Garanca spell, this man had about as much a chance of staving off disaster as the bull in the toreador's arena. And he's not alone: By the second act I was prepared to give it all up (mother included) and follow Garanca to a remote gypsy hideaway in the mountains.The plot of Bizet's Carmen centers around an army corporal, Don José (Roberto Alagna), who is torn between an infatuation with the manipulative femme fatale, Carmen (Garanca ) and the redemptive forces in his life, represented by the innocent Micaëla (Barbara Frittoli).
Garanca's Carmen is a three-dimensional, hands-on character who uses not only body and voice but also props, staging and dancing to convey her irresistible persona. When arrested and placed in the hands of Don José, Garanca uses a set of handcuffs and a rope tethered to him to stage a powerfully suggestive Seguidilla, inviting her captor to allow her to escape and accompany her to Lillas Pastia's Tavern. At the tavern, Garanca dances wildly on the tables during the rowdy gypsy song of seduction (Les tringles des sistres tintaient), and later, when Don José enters the tavern, Garanca teases him (during the Castanets Dance) with a lap-dance.
Curiously, Garanca downplays her character's seductive demeanor (some men will no doubt disagree with this) and aims instead to project herself as a poised, confident manipulator — one who has only one talent in life, but knows when and how to use it to her advantage. When Don José pays her only scant attention early in the first act, Garanca simply shifts into a higher gear and scoops her unwitting passenger on-board. Similarly, in the famed Habanera (sung while Garanca casually begins washing her shirt and feet) she delivers the initial verse with an aloofness that lay somewhere between boredom and "been-there-done-that." Only at the repeat of the verse does Garanca then turn up the heat, and to great effect.
