With his CARMEN, Georges Bizet wrote a declaration of war on romantic opera: With her indomitable will for freedom, the title heroine embodies the opposite of the passive, suffering female characters who previously dominated the opera stage. But CARMEN is anti-romantic in an even broader sense: Bizet's opera shows a world in which love as an interpersonal feeling no longer has any place and has long since been replaced by sex and violence. Carmen and the torero Escamillo are representatives of this society, in which only the right of the strongest counts. A world in which Don José, with his bourgeois ideal of love, remains a doomed alien.
