Carmen (original French edition, engraved): Serious Opera, Keyboard Accompaniment, VS (Spiral)

While it scandalized Parisian audiences at its premiere by the Opéra-Comique in Paris on March 3rd, 1875, Georges Bizet's (1838-1875) CARMEN became, a mere decade later, one of the most popular and frequently performed operas in the repertoire. It remains popular today, with songs such as the "Habanera" and "Toreador Song" among the best known of all opera arias. Both a more traditionally bound book and a spiral-bound book for piano accompanists and vocalists who wish to be able to lay the music flat are available from the publisher.
