(Amadeus). A riveting story of fatal attraction between a
beguiling, strong-willed gypsy and a naive but passionate soldier
who falls under her spell, Georges Bizet's Carmen pulses with
seduction, obsession, and deadly betrayal. It was reviled at its
Paris premiere, where its realism and perceived amorality proved
shocking, but it became one of the most popular and highly regarded
operas of all time. Arguably the greatest musical product of
France's enduring fascination with Spain, Carmen features many
numbers that are now almost universally familiar, including the
seductive Habanera and the boastful but infectious Toreador Song.
Don Jose is an idealistic young corporal in 1820s Seville when he
encounters the gypsy Carmen, who is irresistible to all men
seemingly except Jose, who loves the innocent country girl Micaela.
But soon enough Carmen works her wiles on him to escape
imprisonment, and a later twist of ever-looming fate forces him to
completely abandon the world he knows and follow Carmen into a life
of crime. When the bullfighter Escamillo wins Carmen's affections,
Don Jose's explosive jealousy clashes with Carmen's resolve to
remain true to herself, leading to one of opera's fiercest
confrontations and most unforgettable conclusions.
