Our Carmen, Anita Rachvelishvili, in her Metropolitan Opera debut. We saw Anita in the same role at Scala last season-- she seemed much more at ease here, probably because she wasn't costumed by someone who hates women. She looked fantastic, moved better, and to my ears, even SOUNDED better than she did at La Scala.
She signed our programs as well, despite her manager shuffling her away before we could get a photo.
