Opera on 3

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

Gypsy stereotype, tart-with-a-heart, battered wife or modern liberated woman? Bizet's Carmen- probably the best-loved opera in the world - always affords new insights. Petroc Trelawny introduces David McVicar's new production, recorded in August at the Glyndebourne Festival and starring Swedish mezzo Anne Sofie von Otter in her stage debut in the title role.
Glyndebourne Chorus,
LPO, conductor Philippe Jordan
