(Schott). Bizet's Carmen is one of the most famous operas of all time. Love, jealousy, murder, vast choral set pieces, and overwhelming passion combined with a colorful Spanish setting are sure-fire ingredients for a world-wide success. All the most beautiful tunes from this opera including the Habanera have been arranged in easy versions. The pretty illustrations by Brigitte Smith, in color throughout, add to the attractiveness of this volume.
