Carmen

And I think it should be shocking.”

Regarding the advertising for the recent screenings of the Met Opera Spring Highlight title Lucia di Lammermoor:
Due to an oversight by Sharmill Films, the cast advertised was different to the production that screened. Natalie Dessay was listed as singing the title role, but the version that screened featured Anna Netrebko. Sharmill Films wishes to apologise for confusion and inconvenience caused by this error in the advertising, and hopes that Met Opera audiences continue to enjoy the captured live in HD screenings.
