“This staging lends itself specially well to film in many ways. It’s as colourful as the music … Rice’s dark good looks make her a good choice for the part. Her singing is precise and attractive … Argiris’s Escamillo is much deeper than the usual flashy image…Kovalevska’s Micaëla on the other hand was superb from beginning to end.” (Opera Today)
“Looking radiant and singing superbly, [Kovalevska] brought great depth and passion to the role with a faultless performance.” (The Daily Express)
“… an earthily alluring Carmen from Christine Rice.” (The Guardian)
