If there was something really worth watching during the second premiere of Carmen Georges Bizet, then it was a unique performance by mezzo-soprano Ester Pavlů in the title role. Tall, attractive Ester Pavlu, she is a charismatic figure, full of femininity, and her Carmen can reliably control women's weapons. A well-placed voice of beautiful color is ideal for the role, and the refined way of its singing interpretation reveals careful work with both the accompanist and the language coach.
The main character Carmen was played by mezzo-soprano Ester Pavlů. She proved that this role belongs to her, and she will certainly continue to perform this role from now on. As a singer, Ester Pavlů is completely ready, her voice sounded strong enough in its entirety, even in places where she needed to express cynicism, but also in softer positions. In color, it is enough Carmen and it will be interesting to see where her development is going. I would love to listen to the show again, maybe in half a year. I have one idea, and that is that I would like to hear the voice of Ester Pavlu in a Rossini role. It's no secret that she sings Cinderella in Sofia. And the National Theater is also preparing Santuzza with her in Mascagni's Peasant Cavalier. It will definitely be interesting to continue watching this singer. As an actor, Pavlů based her Carmen on her natural beauty, a certain dominance. Her speech was direct, clear. She belongs to those Carmens (for now) who at the end of the opera arouse regret, especially with Don José.…
