About the opera Carmen

Carmen is an opera in four acts by Georges Bizet. The libretto was written by Henri Meilhac and Ludovic Halévy based on Prosper Mérimée’s novel of the same name. Although formally an opéra-comique and designated as such, Carmen was “a revolutionary break” with this opera genre. The realistic depiction of milieu, drama and fateful tragedy made it a forerunner of verismo. The first performance on March 3, 1875 in the Opéra-Comique was received rather negatively. Soon after, however, Carmen became one of the greatest worldwide successes in operatic history, although the composer did not live to see it. Even today, Carmen is one of the most popular and most frequently performed works in the operatic repertoire.
