This 'on ice' version of Carmen is a much loved watch in my house. I recorded it off UK TV on it's one and only broadcast. Great skating - which includes the sounds of the skates on the ice ! Brilliant music and just a wonderful atmosphere to the whole piece. How they did the fire sequences on the ice, I will never know ! The extras used throughout are worth the watch also, as they provide authentic character to the film. Look out for the flamenco music and dancer also. Why this has never been issued on DVD or shown again on TV (to my knowledge) I will never understand. (My PAL SVHS tape is now copied to DVD for posterity !)
