Spanish heat and gypsy passion are brought to the stage in Francesca Zambello’s vivid production of Bizet’s opera: http://www.roh.org.uk/carmen
Die Habanera is die aria Carmen sing toe sy die eerste keer verskyn op die verhoog. It is also known as ‘L’amour est un oiseau rebelle’.
Carmen was based on a popular novella of the same name by Prosper Mérimée, wat die Franse lesers gelok met eksotiese verhale van Spanje. Die onstuimige kombinasie van passie, sensuality and violence initially proved too much for the stage and Georges Bizet’s opera was a critical failure on its premiere in 1875. Bizet is kort ná, nooit leer van die skouspelagtige sukses Carmen sou bereik — dit is opgevoer oor 500 keer op Covent Garden alleen.
