A good friend invited me to the Met last night. The show was incredible, but I was shocked by Carmen (the character). She is totally hateful.

The Opera shocked audiences when first performed, apparently. Do your sympathies lie with the murderous Don José?

@NikBv - Don José made his bed and then couldn't sleep in it - my sympathies lie with his mother and ex GF

Yes, I thought Micaela was good in this. But did José still make the bed if he was actually enchanted somehow by a gypsy spell?

Remember, this is Opera, an art-form not exactly known for its realism.

@NikBv - a combination: carmen needed a way out of being arrested and she became enamored of Jose... either way, self-centered
