Bizet's Carmen in 60 Seconds. Take a minute to get the scoop!

Fun Fact
Georges Bizet's "Carmen," composed in 1875, was crafted during a time when French opera was dominated by grand, serious works. Bizet, influenced by emerging realism, sought to break conventions with "Carmen," infusing it with Spanish flair, everyday characters, and a tragic storyline. Set in Seville, Spain, the opera's portrayal of a fiery, independent woman and its innovative music challenged societal norms and faced initial criticism for its perceived immorality. Despite a lukewarm premiere at the Opéra-Comique in Paris, "Carmen" ultimately gained acclaim, becoming a landmark in operatic history for its bold narrative and rich, evocative score.
