In Review: Campellone conducts "Carmen" at Opéra d'Avignon
“The young French conductor loves Carmen and that can be heard in every single beat. After a dynamic overture, he shows more restrain, allowing the orchestration to shine: it is rare to see so much care given to each and every detail, such as the subtle lamentation of the English horn in Micaëla's tune. Once more, in our view, he proves himself – together with Alain Altinoglu – to be the best French conductor of his generation.” -Emmanuel Andrieu, opera-online.com
