Carmen, completed by French composer Bicai in the autumn of 1874, is Bicai's last opera, and it is also the one with the highest performance rate in the world today. It describes that Carmen, a female worker in a tobacco factory, is a beautiful and strong gypsy girl. She falls in love with Don Jose, a sergeant of the guard, and Don Jose also falls in love with her. When Carmen was detained for violating the law and discipline, Jose let her escape. Later, Jose also went to the mountains to join Carmen and her smuggling friends. But by this time, Carmen had made a vow of eternal love with the matador Escamilio. This led to a duel between Jose and Escamilio. In the duel, Carmen obviously defended the matador, which made Jose unbearable. Immediately, the grand and enthusiastic bullfighting scene began. Just as Carmen was cheering for Escamilio's victory, Jose found her. The stubborn Carmen flatly rejected his love and finally died by Jose's sword. The opera Carmen has become the most popular and frequently performed work in all opera houses. It has also been adapted into ballets and musicals and spread to thousands of households through film and television. The famous passages in the opera, including the provocative dance of Habanella and Segidia, Song of the Matador, and the overtures of the first and fourth acts, are well known.
