About Georges Bizet

Georges Bizet wrote one of the most popular operas ever composed, yet died at 36 believing it a failure. Carmen, with its smouldering Habanera and rousing Toreador Song, was initially scandalous but became a global staple of the opera house. Its vivid melodies and Spanish color made Bizet a defining figure of French Romantic opera.
