  • Carmen (Bizet)

    May 2024 - Jun 2024
    • Popov 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.

    • His “La fleur que tu m’avais jetée” was remarkable, a glorious combination of lyrical beauty and pathos.

    • José is sung with a strong, vibrant tone by the Ukranian tenor Dmytro Popov, outstanding in his Act II aria, drawn inexorably into Carmen’s dark web

    • Carmen’s love interest-turned-murderer Don José, played by Dmytro Popov, pulled us in with his electric high register
