The buzz
"Miss Nassif portrayed Carmen as a tempestuous devourer of men, her rich voice descending from a gorgeous sensuousness into a nasty, nasally, snappish French when she's particularly disgusted with Don Jose's lack of manliness. Add this impressive performance to her heartbreaking portrayal of Violetta in last season's Virginia Opera production of "La Traviata," and one begins to wonder why the Met has not been knocking at her door." T.L. Ponick, The Washington Times
