Film version of Carmen with Elina Garanca, Rolando Villazón and Anna Netrebko

Robert Dornhelm, director of the movie version of Puccini's La Bohème with Anna Netrebko and Rolando Villazón in the leading roles, said that he had never imagined how strong and intensely the interplay performance of Anna and Rolando could be. The film will be presented at the Film Festival of Cannes this year.

After such a great experience, Dornhelm is currently planning the filming of a movie version of Bizet's Carmen with Elina Garanca, Rolando Villazón and Anna Netrebko in the leading roles. Dornhelm did not give a name for Escamillo. Let me suggest one. What about Dmitri Hvorostovsky?
