Carmen was based on a popular novella of the same name by Prosper Mérimée (1845), which enticed French readers with exotic tales of Spain.
Its heady combination of passion, sensuality and violence initially proved too much for the stage and Georges Bizet's opera was a critical failure on its premiere in 1875. Bizet died shortly after, never learning of the spectacular success Carmen would achieve
Carmen - Georges Bizet
Opéra comique in four acts 1874.
Opéra comique in four acts 1874.
Libretto by Henri Meilhac and Ludovic Halévy, after the novel by Prosper Mérimée(1845). First performance by the Paris Opéra-Comique at the Salle Favart on 3rd March 1875.
Set in Seville around the year 1830, the opera deals with the love and jealousy of Don José, who is lured away from his duty as a soldier and his beloved Micaëla by the gypsy factory-girl Carmen, whom he allows to escape from custody. He is later induced to join the smugglers with whom Carmen is associated, but is driven wild by jealousy. This comes to a head when Carmen makes clear her preference for the bull-fighter Escamillo. The last act, outside the bull-ring in Seville, brings Escamillo to the arena, accompanied by Carmen, there stabbed to death by Don José, who has been awaiting her arrival.
