Giuseppe Sinopoli - Bizet: Carmen - Prélude & Act IV: "Les voici! Voici la quadrille"

Watch Giuseppe Sinopoli conduct the Prélude and then the rousing chorus “Les voici! Voici la quadrille” from Act IV of Bizet’s 'Carmen' with the Sächsische Staatskapelle Dresden and Sächsischer Staatsopernchor Dresden. On 2 November 2026, Giuseppe Sinopoli would have celebrated his 80th birthday. This performance is taken from a gala concert marking the reopening of Dresden’s Semperoper in February 1985, following its reconstruction after the destruction of the Second World War.

Giuseppe Sinopoli conducts the Sächsische Staatskapelle Dresden and the Sächsischer Staatsopernchor in a programme of opera favourites by Verdi, Bizet and Puccini. Gheorghiu is heard in arias including Un bel dì vedremo and Pace, pace, mio Dio, while Alagna sings La fleur que tu m’avais jetée and E lucevan le stelle. The two come together for duets from Verdi’s Otello and Puccini’s Madama Butterfly, in an open-air evening that ends with Verdi’s great chorus Va, pensiero.
