The all-male version. Incredible atheleticism! Breathtaking!

Ugh, I just saw an all male version of Carmen done by Cubans. What is this, misogyny personified? Actually, it was on TV the same week, Albert Herring was wearing a tiara.
The whole point is missed in dance, the interplay of feminine lightness and grace with masculine strength and agility in an all male crew. I'd say it is BORING!!!
