Georges Bizet spent almost his entire life in Paris, his hometown.
He never visited Spain. And yet his Carmen is considered by many
the epitome of Spanish opera. Bizet did not live to see Carmen's
enormous worldwide success. He died at the age of thirty-six, just
three months after his masterpiece took the stage for the first
time. Today his other remarkable works have been entirely eclipsed
by Carmen, masking the trajectory that led to the creation of one
of the world's most beloved operas. In almost all available
English-language biographies, serious errors abound, often informed
by romantic misconceptions surrounding the life of this remarkable
musician. First published in 1991, Christoph Schwandt's Georges
Bizet: A Biography is now widely recognized as the definitive work
on this misunderstood composer's life. Drawing on significant
recent research gathered for the revised and augmented 2011 German
edition-now translated into English by Cynthia Klohr-Schwandt
rewrites and restores the historical record concerning Bizet's
achievements and contributions to the world of music. This work is
ideal for students and scholars of opera history and aficionados of
what many consider one of the world's greatest operas ever written.
