In 2018, at the age of just 21, she was called upon at the last minute to stand in for the lead singer in *Carmen* at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden. Her performance was met with rave reviews from the London audience for her intense temperament, rich expressiveness, and exceptional technical skill. Building on this success, she has been invited to perform the role at world-renowned opera houses such as the Deutsche Oper Berlin (2023), the Metropolitan Opera (2023\/24), the Verona Festival (2024), the Teatro Real in Madrid (2025), and the Bavarian State Opera (2026), and now reigns as a top star among *Carmen* sopranos. This long-awaited DVD\/Blu-ray release features the 2024 new production at Covent Garden—the very place where Acmecina’s career began. The cast brings together a stellar lineup of singers, including Piotr Beczawa as Don José and Olga Kurczyńska as Micaëla. Olivier Award-winning director Damiano Michieletto sets the stage in a remote village in Southern Europe, portraying the story as a raw psychological drama set within a stifling rural community. The orchestra, led by Antonello Manacorda, delivers a performance that is refined yet brimming with dramatic tension. Acmetina, hailed as “the greatest Carmen of our time,” returned triumphantly to the place where she once performed as a miraculous understudy. This is a monumental recording that captures her wild charm and dazzling star power.\nNaxos Japan\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Opus Arte","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53510706004257,"sku":"4589538834623","price":878000.0,"currency_code":"IDR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4589538834623.jpg?v=1789474447","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-id\/products\/4589538834623","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
