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, Royal Opera, 2006.
Carmen was based on a popular novella of the same name by Prosper Mérimée, som lokket fransk lesere med eksotiske historier i Spania. Sin berusende kombinasjon av lidenskap, 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 døde kort tid etter, never learning of the spectacular success Carmen would achieve – it has been staged over 500 ganger på Covent Garden alene.
