Well no disrepect to George Bizet, but if I never hear refrains from Carmen playing it won't be too soon, unless I plan to attend the actual Opera production that is. Maybe that would be refreshing. I just don't think opera lends itself well to figure skating programs. How does one really convey the drama that goes on in an opera the scale of Carmen? I think Virtue and Moir made a huge error this season making Carmen their theme. I did not like the program from the beginning. I don't think the judges got it either and did not reward Virtue and Moir for their effort, that's what Tracy Wilson said after the Worlds concluded. She may be right. I think they would have won with a different program. It also did not help that another dance team used the same theme and even Kaetlyn Osmond skated to Carmen. Enough Carmen!! Let's hope next season will bring some new music and themes. Can we send a petition: NO CARMEN!!!
