Carmen by George Bizet

Act 1: Square in Seville

In this act, a group of soldiers is seated waiting for a change in their squad while commenting

on the passers-by. Jose, one of the soldiers, appears at the moment Micaela is looking for

him. Carmen comes in and sings her provocative song on the untameable nature of love. The

men in the group persuade her to, therefore, choose one man to be her love in which case she

throws a flower at Jose who has been ignoring her all through. The letter which Micaela

brings is from Jose's mother who has wishes for her to marry him something which she learns

with a lot of embarrassment. Carmen, on the other hand, is shown to have struck someone

with a knife in which Jose orders for her to be put in prison. When left alone with Jose, she

persuades him through the love songs to tie her loosely. On the way to prison, she pushes the

escort and runs away, while Jose is arrested for his deterioration of duty. Carmen plays a

provocative love rhythm to Jose, which makes him forget about the discipline needed for a

gourd. This rhythm played is accompanied by changes in the key whose motif is shown to be

accomplished through the act of throwing the flower at Jose. This act is shown to raise

passion from Jose, at which point is change is the market in his music characterization.

This act presents Carmen by the use of motif and a refrain in the fate which she presents. The

use of abrupt crescendo concludes the prelude. The rising of curtains brings in a shiny and

light atmosphere, which is far more than the first scene. There is a show of mock upon the

townsfolk. These come before a change in the mood the moment the announcement of

Carmen entrance is made.

Act 2

crowd is shown to sing along as Escamillo's some into the stage. There is the following

quintet which is described as incomparable verve and musical wit. Jose appears in which

Carmen sings her love song, thus making it appear as a wooing scene.

Act 3

This scene is accompanied by a softer vein whereby Micaela reappear sand is joined Jose in a

duet to warm themselves. Clarinet and strings accompany this moment. This is, however,

broken by the noisy response from the women's quarrel, together with the dramatic entry by

Carmen and her interaction with Zuniga. Seguidilla makes noise and revokes Jose. Carmen

escapes aspect which is followed by a short disconcerting reprise made by habanera. This

part is revised severally by Bizarre to increase its dramatic effect.

Act 4

In this final act, it is prefaced with a lively orchestral piece. It is in this section whereby Jose

makes is last please to Carmen with is fully rejected. It is punctuated at some moments by

some enthusiastic off stage shouts made by the bullfighting groups. There is the song by

Toreador done off stage which is accompanying the killing of Carmen by Jose. The fate of

Carmen is death, which has been pointed out several times in the act. The deep love which

curtains and does not contain any more vocal or even musical comment.
