It really does come across as a magical place, yes!
I was careful not to spoil the violin surprise, since it completely came out of the blue for me, too. :) Inevitably, this makes me now picture this Countertenor Carmen as Mara, the homme fatal of Gertrud Elisabeth Schmeling and Heinrich both!
Well done :P :D Ohhhh, okay, this is now my headcanon of Mara :D
That Carmen clip is amazing! Elīna Garanča was already one of my favorites, and wow her Carmen! (And the Met always, or at least often, has such great choreography and videography!) I've got my Met on Demand for a while now; I'm going to have to check it out...
