«Carmen» is the illustrated book with CD of Georges Bizet's opera, published by Calligram in hardback (40 pages, in French).
Carmen, a gypsy who boasts of always choosing her lovers and that no man decides for her, stars in this version of Bizet's opera. Set among bullfighters and passions, the story moves toward a tragic outcome: life, according to the gypsies, is a game with a loser and a winner.
The illustrations are by Alberto Urdioles Valiente; the work is inspired by Prosper Mérimée's novel.
Recommended for children aged 3 to 8 and for those seeking a first approach to opera.
Georges Bizet was a French composer of the Romantic era. Best known for his operas in a career cut short by his early death, Bizet achieved few successes before his final work, Carmen, which has become one of the most popular and frequently performed works in the entire opera repertoire.
