Bestmaniova and Bukin's "Carmen" is very much appreciated and also quite famous. During a media seminar in college this program was showed to students for discussion and we were all amazed by the unison. We did an analysis on it. Also we debated Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake and "Amadeus" directed by Milos Forman. I was fascinated by all of them

I mean it's pretty old, I don't know the average age of posters here, but in most cases I saw people in threads offering recent mentions, like after '90 (there are also exceptions). In my contry it was common that when a certain skater did Carmen, the TV commentator brought up Katarina Witt, Plusenko, Bestemianova and Bukin to present exemples of iconic programs.
This program was so fun when she was in the right mood. However, in the french GP for some reason it really didn't work for her. I still hope she brings it back at least as a gala program.
Actually, I believe Dimmano used much more derogatory terminology in her article, some of which may not be appropriate for GoldenSkate’s rules, regarding the use of non-family-friendly language. Meanwhile, it was glaringly obvious that she’s never watched Bob Fosse’s acclaimed choreography to “Rich Man’s Frug,” which KO absolutely nailed; with the help of Lance Vipond’s spot-on choreography, of course.
