Michael Weiss skated to "Carmen" in the 1999-2000 season. I thought it was one of his best LP's choreographically and he really skated it well in Cleveland to win his 2nd Nationals title. Plushenko used "Carmen" for his LP theme two seasons later. THose are just two that immediately come to my mind.Mathman said:OT, but on the subject of "yet another Carmen," do men ever skate to Carmen? It has some rousing martial music, like the Toreador's song.
Chrystia Mee said:Wow! This thread seriuosly shocked me. I'm a huge FUmie Suguri fan so I haven't decided what I think. But I'm leaning towards change might be the right thing for her. Her basic skating is fantastic and she's got a lot of talent. When she's on, she does very well. I don't agree about yor comments regarding her speed, but everyone seems to have varying opinions when it comes to FUmie. I hope that she has an incredible comeback season.
Viktor Petrenko used the Toreador's Song as part of his short program (or it was probably called original program back then).Mathman said:OT, but on the subject of "yet another Carmen," do men ever skate to Carmen? It has some rousing martial music, like the Toreador's song.

Of course, I guess with Tarasova and Arakawa - with both of them not speaking that much english - it's the same problem - just trying to imagine how they communicate effectively at practice.
