When was Carmen created?
Carmen
Carmen (French pronunciation:​[kaʁmɛn]; Spanish:[ˈkaɾmen]) is an opera in four acts by French composer Georges Bizet. The libretto was written by Henri Meilhac and Ludovic Halévy, based on a novella of the same title by Prosper Mérimée. The opera was first performed by the Opéra-Comique in Paris on 3 March 1875, where its breaking of conventions shocked and scandalized its first audiences.
Marie Carmen
Associated with the bands Accident, Blood et Marie and The Radio Rats in the early 1980s, she subsequently became a backing vocalist for Claude Dubois and The Box, and was later selected by Luc Plamondon to play the role of Marie-Jeanne in a revival of "Starmania". She subsequently released her debut album as a solo artist, "Dans la peau", in 1988. She has since released four more studio albums and a greatest hits compilation, and participated in another production of "Starmania" in 2000, this time in the role of Sadia.
