Carmen Bizet

Public

Approved

Bizet's eternally current opera about love and freedom is very well known to those who are not ordinary opera audiences, mostly because of the passionate love story, brilliantly written arias and scenes that subtly quote Spanish folklore. The work is based on the eponymous, not particularly accepted, story by Prosper Mérimée based on a true dramatic and romantic story with a touch of cruel realism, about the love triangle of Gypsy Carmen, soldier Don Jose and bullfighter Escamillo. Characters depicting the mysterious depths of the human psyche, the eros as the old ones felt; seductive, playful, caustic, demonic, unbridled (F. Nietzsche) and the fatal passion between them start the dramatic action, leading it to the inevitable tragic end. Although the opera at its premiere on March 3, 1875 in Paris experienced a fiasco, further Bizet's Carmen, for which the libretto was written by H. Meilhac and L. Halévy, was a dizzying rise of the work to world fame, to be considered by almost everyone today to be the pinnacle of operatic creativity. The Latin translation of the name of the title heroine means a poem, or an enchanted poem or prophetic expression that erases the boundaries between worlds; a song between text and music, an enchanted poem between reality and fantasy, a prophecy of the boundary of epochs. Having found its way to the widest layers of the audience, opera has become an absolute bestseller and an indispensable part of the repertoire of every opera house. In the world, Carmen has been performed more and more often than all other opera titles, and individual arias such as habanera, seguidille or toreador's arias can be compared to the greatest musical hits of our time. And numerous adaptations, adaptations and many different works of art initiated by that opera,
