Special thanks to La Cieca for once again featuring The Volume on Parterre.com and creating a new tag for my review of Carmen at the Met: Le Mot du Jour.
“Though controversial, Rob Howell’s set was appropriately abstract without dissolving into inscrutability, placing emphasis on the underground and underbelly. Though fine from a distance, the ladies’ costumes (also designed by Howell) had an air of Lisa Kudrow’s character on Friends circa 1994, which means they’ll probably be au courant in a few years.”

Hi Olivia,
See my post on Carmen at my blog “Opera Impressions” at http://barrycamson.typepad.com/opera_impressions/ I am not a professional journalist, though I do enjoy devoting time to creating a post after each performance which captures in some way how I am impacted by the opera.
