About the program
Lopareva and Brissaud skate Rosalía's "Berghain" as a modern Carmen, a story of passion that turns into confrontation. Brissaud said they wanted to make it personal, and Lopareva summed up the relationship in five words: "They don't fall in love."
At Skate Canada it scored 115.05 for silver, with an 8.75 composition mark and level 4 on the straight-line and stationary lifts. Lopareva admitted they missed little levels here and there.
On r/FigureSkating, fans noticed "Berghain" took silver in three of the four disciplines in Kelowna and joked it went from zero to warhorse in one weekend. Many felt the French were lowballed against Fear/Gibson, and some pointed at how much risk Lopareva takes in the lifts.
