Carmen
Pittsburgh Opera
Director: Bruce Garnett
Conductor: Antony Walker
In an inspired debut on Saturday, Latvian mezzo-soprano, Zanda Svede brought heat and allure back to the Benedum Center, singeing soldiers, toreadors and listeners alike with a full-bodied, sensuous voice and arresting presence. Svede's stage presence captivated, from her first barefooted step onto the stage, breathing life into complexities of a woman sure of herself, and of her hedonism.
Her Habbanera, perhaps the opera's most famous aria, elevated the production from strong to excellent.
