Poveste despre Carmen Jones, Joe & Cindy Low sau ce facea Marilyn Horne in 1954
Cei trei mentionati mai sus sunt vechile noastre cunostinte Carmen, Don Jose si…Micaela :-). In 1954 Otto Preminger regiza filmul muzical “Carmen Jones” care are la baza povestea lui Mérimée. Desi protagonistii (Harry Belafonte si Dorothy Dandridge) erau ei insisi cantareti, regizorul a optat in final pentru dublarea vocilor in partile muzicale. Dorothy Dandrige, Carmen in film, a fost dublata de Marilyn Horne:
“Even though I was at that time a very light lyric soprano, I did everything I possibly could to imitate the voice of Dorothy Dandridge. I spent many hours with her. In fact, one of the reasons I was chosen to do this dubbing was that I was able to imitate her voice had she been able to sing in the proper register.”
Harry Belafonte a fost dublat de LeVern Hutcherson. Acest film este perfect pentru o dupa-amiaza de duminica. Eventual afara ploua…
