Movie"Georges Bizet's opera comique live at the Opéra Bastille, Paris on March 7th, 2017"
Bizet: Carmen
NR 2 hr 30 minDrama
With a devilish sway of the hips and a hint of Andalusian flair, Carmen, the beautiful cigar-maker sets her sights on a soldier: Don José. Fate will do the rest. Composed to a libretto by Meilhac and Halévy based on Prosper Mérimée’s novella, the opera exploded the boundaries between tragedy and comedy with a modernity that caused a scandal at the time. Can we kill the one we love with love? The fiery beauty of Bizet’s music, where one unforgettable aria follows another, has worked year in, year out to make it the world’s most performed opera.
WritersHenri MeilhacLudovic Halévy
