Allyson on the “Allure of Carmen” for TSN

Jan 15, 2013 | News

Allyson speaks (and sings!) for TSN’s feature on the appeal of music from Carmen in the sport of figure skating. The video was presented during the channel’s coverage of the Canadian Figure Skating Championships. Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir captured their fifth national ice dance title with their highly popular free dance program set to music from Carmen.

Many thanks to Pacific Opera Victoria and the Victoria Symphony for their permission to use video footage from their production of Carmen featuring Allyson in February 2012.
