| Abstract |
Today Georges Bizet is most immediately recognized as the composer of the acclaimed opera Carmen. One of the most frequently performed operas for over a century, Carmen explores concepts such as the femme fatale and murderous jealousy with vivacity, color, and a wealth of melody. Yet it is only one act in Bizet's story. In this book, the author goes beyond the composer's most famous opera to take an in-depth look at his entire life and oeuvre. |
