Carmen air No.1 Choeur Des Gamins

The Opera is based on the novel by Prosper Mérimée, with lyrics by Henri Meilhac and Ludovic Halévy. The performance is in the 'opéra comique' genre, meaning musical numbers are interrupted by dialogue, allowing the Opera to bridge the gap between comic musicality and serious realism. Sadly, Georges Bizet passed away before he was able to experience Carmen's worldwidepopularity. With this Carmen sheet music you can play and perform the Chorus of Urchins, a brilliant song on its own, or as part of the entire Opera.
