This famous film of te world's best-loved opera, directed by Herbert von Karajan, features the three greatest exponents of their respective roles at the time:
Grace Bumbry's magnificently seductive-toned Carmen, Mirella Freni's ineffably lovely, touching Micaela, and Jon Vickers' thrilling manic-depressive Don José - "overwhelming in its truthfulness to the tragic visions of Carmen", wrote the distinguished critic David Cairns.
