#carmen

Bizet's opera Carmen is a powerful presence in our cultural landscape, with melodies such as that of the habanera L'amour est un oiseau rebelle etched into the public's consciousness. The gritty story combines groundbreaking operatic verismo' within the structural framework of the French Opera-Comique', while being infused with the spirit of the Zarzuela, the Spanish musical theatre that helped define the country's national identity.
