Carmen (Bizet)
Glyndebourne Opera FestivalMay 2024 - Jun 2024Popov owns a great, dramatic voice with an extensive range and powerful ringing high notes. His acting is excellent too. His José comes across as a complex character, capable of great tenderness but also of jealous rage and violence when angry.
Alongside Chaieb’s accomplished Carmen, Dmytro Popov’s Don José was vibrantly, stirringly sung.
