Rinat Shaham, or as her fans know her "Rini" is the best Carmen on the Opera Scene today. This is my favourite rendition of Carmen's Seguidilla Aria (with Gordon Gietz as Don Jose)
Rinat Shaham as Cherubino at Covent Garden's David McVicar production of Mozart's Marriage of Figaro or: Nozze di Figaro.
