Where it came from
The opera Carmen, composed by Georges Bizet, premiered at the Opéra-Comique in Paris in 1875. The libretto, written by Henri Meilhac and Ludovic Halévy, was based on the 1845 novella by Prosper Mérimée. Originally received with critical hostility for its perceived immorality and lack of traditional operatic structure, it was intended to challenge the aesthetic conventions of the time by grounding its narrative in the raw, realistic lives of its protagonists.
The work underwent significant evolution following Bizet's untimely death just three months after the premiere. As the opera gained international acclaim, various publishers released scores and libretto editions to meet the demand of a growing global audience. These early printed versions served as essential tools for rehearsals and archival study, helping to cement the work's transition from a controversial Parisian debut to one of the most frequently performed operas in history.
