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 March 3, 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.
