OPERA PHILADELPHIA - “Carmen”

“...there’s a real French-ness to it, too, mostly where it counts most-in the music. Conductor Yves Abel, making his debut with Opera Philadelphia, swung almost instantly into the prelude, setting a crisp, high energy reading that rarely flagged, but also had the necessary lyricism.”
