卡門這部以吉普賽女優卡門為主線的經典展現了放蕩不羈隨便留情的卡門與一個老實人士兵忠貞不二愛情最終矛盾爆發至悲劇收場. 因為法國人比才的天才創作, 給人留下很多膾嗤人口的唱段, 音樂和舞蹈, 比如愛情是一隻野鳥, 踢踏舞, 鬥牛士之歌等等. 這次在紐約小住幾個晚上, 正好住的地方離MET和百老匯不遠, 就乘機看了幾場歌劇和音樂劇. 這個卡門, 沒想到演得如此精彩和專業, 真是大開眼界.
Carmen is a French opéra comique by Georges Bizet. The opera premiered at the Opéra-Comique of Paris on 3 March 1875, but its opening run was denounced by the majority of critics.It was almost withdrawn after its fourth or fifth performance, and although this was avoided, ultimately having 48 performances in its first run,[5] it did little to bolster sagging receipts at the Opéra-Comique. Near the end of this run, the theatre was giving tickets away in order to stimulate attendance. Bizet died of a heart attack, aged 36, on 3 June 1875, never knowing how popular Carmen would become. In October 1875 it was produced in Vienna, to critical and popular success, which began its path to worldwide popularity.

This is the most beautiful music, and if nothing else, you should listen to this music first from this most touching and passionate opera..
