About
Can Carmen's gaze only be compared to that of a wild animal? The French writer Prosper Merimée examines this question in his novella Carmen, the source of Georges Bizet's (1838–1875) eponymous and final opera, which premiered on 3 March 1875 at the Opéra-Comique in Paris. Carmen's alluring presence is both her weapon and her fate, for in the end she dies at the hands of her jealous lover: Don José.
