The Latvian mezzo-soprano Elina Garanca - the most convincing Carmen in a long time (1)
www.expatsnet.net 15.01.2010 21:28
The Latvian mezzo-soprano Elina Garanca is the most convincing Carmen in a long time, and not just because of the way she hikes her skirts to stroke a naked thigh. She is too canny to rely exclusively on castanet-clicking shtick, or to jettison it altogether. She retreads the cheesy old porn-star come-ons, and at the same time ferrets out the personality behind the mannerisms. Who is Carmen?... Today, we can read her as a guerrilla in the gender wars, a martyr to personal freedom, a narcissistic virago, or just a self-destructive vamp. Garanca chooses all of the above, mixing stereotypes with a dab of nonchalant cruelty.
Onstage, though, musical choices merge with an acting strategy: Garanca delivers a hot performance of a cold character, a Carmen who doesn’t seduce Don José so much as kick him into her world and then carelessly toss him out. She is a virtuoso of indifference.
