Now available on DVD, this prettily photographed and nicely sung version of Carmen is as good as any introduction to the opera as a film can be. But when Don Jose and Escamillo come at each other with ....

A fine production of one of opera's greatest works. Peter Hall's outing is well-pitched between realism and necessary staginess. The modest (old) Glyndebourne stage is well used to show pull the soap- ....
