| Carmen (Theatre) | comment |
Carmen is Georges Bizet's classic opera in four acts set to a libretto by Henri Meilhac and Ludovic Halévy. First performed at the Opéra-Comique in Paris in 1875, it shocked and scandalized audiences, and the character of Carmen outraged many critics for being an "amoral seductress" and not a "woman of virtue". It was a huge failure upon release, and it wasn't revived until 1883, when it quickly became popular in France and abroad.The opera tells the tragic tale of a Spanish corporal, Don José, who abandons the army, his fiancée, and his morals when he falls for Carmen: a mysterious, seductive, and independent Romani woman.Modern reception has been much kinder to the opera, with much praise for Bizet's brilliance in melody, harmony, atmosphere, and orchestration. The score was amended significantly after Bizet's death, with a different composer replacing the original spoken dialogue with sung recitatives (both versions are still performed). Since then, it's become a staple in the worldwide operatic repertoire and has seen numerous recordings and productions.Film adaptations are many, and date back to 1909. Some of the more famous include Otto Preminger's Carmen Jones (an all-black cast in the 1950s North Carolina), and 1983 Spanish film Carmen (a dance troupe puts on an adaptation of Carmen while the characters also live out the story in real life, including the Downer Ending). | |

The Gentleman or the Scoundrel | |
| Carmen (Theatre) / int_10c444b0 | comment |
The Gentleman or the Scoundrel: A rare, but actually welcome subversion. Don José seems like a gentleman (a sweet if dull young man) but turns out to be a possessively jealous scoundrel, whereas Escamillo seems like a scoundrel (a flashy and daring bullfighter) but turns out to be a true gentleman who cares about Carmen's autonomy. Needless to say, Carmen chooses Escamillo, but Don José kills her for it. | |

Manic Pixie Dream Girl: Carmen is a deconstruction: she's a gypsy woman who seduces and enchants Don José with her free-spirited nature, but quickly tires of him as he becomes a Crazy Jealous Guy. Turns out she's not so much into clingy men, and she leaves him for someone much more exciting. As a result, he kills her out of jealousy at the end of the opera. | |

Crazy Jealous Guy: Even though he shows some early signs in the second act when Zuniga tries to have his way with Carmen, it’s in the third act that Don José shows that his obsession with Carmen has turned him into one of these, perhaps because he’s given up every principle he has and she’s all that he has now. | |

Grey-and-Gray Morality: Part of what made Carmen so controversial in its first run were the morally questionable actions of Carmen and Don José. On the one hand, Carmen starts out as an emotionally manipulative Femme Fatale, whereas Don José starts out as a Nice Guy who just can’t resist her. On the other hand, by the opera's end, Don José has become a Crazy Jealous Guy, whereas Carmen dies defending her freedom from him. | |

Femme Fatale | |
| Carmen (Theatre) / int_90b66e22 | comment |
Femme Fatale: Carmen In Carmen's introduction in Habanera, she outright states that anyone she loves should beware. Any man she professes to love ends up having a rough time of it. At the beginning of Act III, Don José laments about his mother. Carmen tells him he should leave and go be with her if that's all he can think of. When he lambasts her for suggesting they part, demanding she never says it again, her retort is biting, or what? Perhaps you'll kill me? Musically, the part at the end of the overture gives a strong sense that it won't end well while you're in for a good time. Whenever that motif pops up again in the score, you know there's unpleasantness ahead (e.g. when Carmen gives Jose the flower; when he comes back and sings to her about how he kept it the whole time he was in prison). | |

Betty and Veronica: Micaela and Carmen for Don José A subverted male version in Don José and Escamillo for Carmen. Escamillo seems like the Veronica, due to his dangerous and exciting profession, but he's really a laid-back and rather nice guy (as shown in his often-cut duet with Don José), and it turns out Don José is the truly violent one. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Carmen (Theatre) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Escamillo might have been named after a famous female torero Nicolasa Escamilla, nicknamed La Pajuelera (Francisco de Goya has made a famous picture of her). | |

Smoking Is Glamorous | |
| Carmen (Theatre) / int_cd8aa3e8 | comment |
Smoking Is Glamorous: The song La cloche a sonné. The men and soldiers wait outside the cigarette factory, waiting for the girls to go on break. Subverted in that the sweet words of lovers are compared to the smoke in the air - they don't last. | |

Incoming Ham | |
| Carmen (Theatre) / int_ceabe589 | comment |
Incoming Ham: Hoo boy. Escamillo's arrival in Act II starts with a chorus singing his praises off-stage, then he comes in to a chorus singing his praise onstage, and then HE starts singing about how awesome he is. | |

Tarot Troubles | |
| Carmen (Theatre) / int_d46bae01 | comment |
Tarot Troubles: Carmen, Frasquita and Mercedes read cards in Act III. Frasquita and Mercedes, being secondary characters, get romance and wealth, Carmen gets death. | |

Revised Ending | |
| Carmen (Theatre) / int_d51158ee | comment |
Revised Ending: A very controversial example of this was staged in 2018 in Florence: Christiano Chiarot, believing that the audience was cheering for the murder of Carmen instead of simply applauding the artists, had Carmen shoot Don José in self-defense instead of being stabbed in the back. | |

All Girls Want Bad Boys | |
| Carmen (Theatre) / int_db2f3581 | comment |
All Girls Want Bad Boys: Zig-Zagged; Carmen gets bored with the increasingly supplicating, but increasingly violent, Don José and takes up with the flashy, but incredibly nice, Escamillo instead. | |

Cat Fight | |
| Carmen (Theatre) / int_deafbadf | comment |
Catfight: The reason Carmen gets arrested in the first place is that she got into a catfight with another girl in the factory and cut her with a knife. How much of it the audience gets to see depends on the production. | |

Very Loosely Based on a True Story | |
| Carmen (Theatre) / int_e4b69188 | comment |
Very Loosely Based on a True Story: The original novel by Prosper Mérimée, anyway. The original Carmen may have been a Roma and worked for a while in a cigarella... but she was also an influential campaigner for the rights of working women, and not a known criminal (it was actually her soldier-boyfriend—who may or may not have met her when his detachment were making an attack on a Romany camp—who went to prison, after killing a man in a fight over Carmen). Unfortunately the story of her death (well, her new man was a picador, not a toreador, but apart from that...) was true, and Merimee Flanderized the rest of the couple's life from that. | |

I Have Boobs, You Must Obey! | |
| Carmen (Theatre) / int_e7dfebe8 | comment |
I Have Boobs, You Must Obey!: The Seguidilla. After being arrested, Carmen convinces José to let her go by singing a song that can be summed up as "I'm available, let's meet at an inn later tonight." | |

Love Makes You Evil | |

Love Makes You Evil: Don José starts out committed to his duty, thinking of his mother and professing that he will marry the sweet, dutiful Micaela. Once he falls for Carmen, he starts running off the rails pretty quickly. | |
