Jonas Kaufmann as Don José sings the Flower Song ‘La fleur que tu m’avais jetée’ with Anna Caterina Antonacci as Carmen in Act II of Francesca Zambello’s production of Georges Bizet’s opera Carmen, The Royal Opera, 2006.
Carmen was based on a popular novella of the same name by Prosper Mérimée, izay voafitaka Zavatra mpamaky amin'ny vahiny angano ny Espaina. Ny kirina mitambatra ny filan'ny nofo, 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 maty fotoana fohy taorian'ny, never learning of the spectacular success Carmen would achieve – it has been staged over 500 fotoana ao amin'ny Covent Garden irery.
