    I, too, am interested in info as it pertains to Carmen's career after Andre Rieu.

    I'm hoping she will be asked & be able to participate in Andre's concert in NY at Radio City Music Hall in July!

    I was at the Dallas concert last night, April 24th. Andre Rieu's offered a superb performance to all of us. But I am sure we all missed Carmen. The singing was not the same, and in spite of three additional tenors, and another female singer, the absence of Carmen's voice was felt all over the Nokia Theatre.
    If you have any information concerning her reasons for leaving the Orchestra, please share with me. I will appreaciate your help.

      Hi Dr Joseph Barboza,

      It was reported/rumored that Carmen originally left to follow her heart, with a boyfriend in Toronto.  The most recent sightings/news/rumors is that she is in Brazil with Opera asperations.

      I thought she was conspicious by her absence last December when I attend the concert in Phoenix, AZ.

      On the plus side, I think The 3 Tenors, are a grrrrrreat addition to the orchestra.

    So THAT's where the lovely Carmen is. As a new person to this site and a Rieu fan - I had been looking for the reason why she was absent at the Orlando concert I attended. We missed her so much! But alas, as I have read here - she is doing as beautiful, young girls are to do ... follow her heart and her love. All songbirds must up and fly away at one point or another.

      I agree!  And you know what?  These same sentiments would appear if Carla left.   Both Carmen & Carla are rare, entertaining & delightful talents. 

      Was Orlando your first Andre Concert?
