What's the name of the famous opera written by Georges Bizet?
Carmen
Carmen
Carmen (] ; ] ) is an opera in four acts by French composer Georges Bizet.
 The libretto was written by Henri Meilhac and Ludovic Halévy, based on a novella of the same title by Prosper Mérimée.
 The opera was first performed at the Opéra-Comique in Paris on 3 March 1875, where its breaking of conventions shocked and scandalized its first audiences.
Georges Bizet
Georges Bizet (] ; 25 October 18383 June 1875), registered at birth as Alexandre César Léopold 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.
Symphony in C (Bizet)
The Symphony in C is an early work by the French composer Georges Bizet.
 According to "Grove's Dictionary", the symphony "reveals an extraordinarily accomplished talent for a 17-year-old student, in melodic invention, thematic handling and orchestration."
 Bizet started work on the symphony in C major on 29 October 1855, four days after turning 17, and finished it roughly a month later.
 It was written while he was studying at the Paris Conservatoire under the composer Charles Gounod, and was evidently a student assignment.
 Bizet showed no apparent interest in having it performed or published, and the piece was never played in his lifetime.
 He used certain material from the symphony in later works, however.
 There is no mention of the work in Bizet's letters, and it was unknown to his earlier biographers.
 His widow, Geneviève Halévy (1849–1926), gave the manuscript to Reynaldo Hahn, who left it along with other papers to the archives of the conservatory library, where it was found in 1933 by Jean Chantavoine.
 Soon thereafter, Bizet's first British biographer Douglas Charles Parker (1885–1970) showed the manuscript to the conductor Felix Weingartner, who led the first performance in Basel, Switzerland, on 26 February 1935. La maison du docteur
La maison du docteur is an opéra comique in one act by Georges Bizet with a French libretto by Henry Boisseaux.
 Some music scholars assert that the opera was composed in 1852 while others believe that it was written in 1855.
 Either way the composition is the first opera written by Bizet.
 "La maison du docteur" has never been performed and while the music does survive in piano score only, the work has never been published. Carmen Suite (ballet)
Carmen Suite is a one-act ballet created in 1967 by Cuban choreographer Alberto Alonso to music by Russian composer Rodion Shchedrin for his wife, prima ballerina assoluta Maya Plisetskaya.
 The premiere took place on 20 April 1967 at the Bolshoi Theatre, Moscow.
 The music, taken from the opera "Carmen" by Georges Bizet and arranged for strings and percussion, is not a 19th-century pastiche but rather "a creative meeting of the minds," as Shchedrin put it, with Bizet's melodies reclothed in a variety of fresh instrumental colors (including the frequent use of percussion), set to new rhythms and often phrased with a great deal of sly wit.
 Initially banned by the Soviet hierarchy as "disrespectful" to the opera for precisely these qualities, the ballet has since become Shchedrin's best-known work and has remained popular in the West for what reviewer James Sanderson calls "an iconoclastic but highly entertaining retelling of Bizet's opera." Carmen Jones
Carmen Jones is a 1943 Broadway musical with music by Georges Bizet (orchestrated for Broadway by Robert Russell Bennett) and lyrics and book by Oscar Hammerstein II which was performed at The Broadway Theatre.
 Conceptually, it is Bizet's opera "Carmen" updated to a World War II-era African-American setting.
 (Bizet's opera was, in turn, based on the 1846 novella by Prosper Mérimée.)
 The Broadway musical was produced by Billy Rose, using an all-black cast, and directed by Hassard Short.
 Robert Shaw prepared the choral portions of the show. Roma Symphony (Bizet)
The Symphony in C "Roma" is the second of Georges Bizet's symphonies.
 Unlike his first symphony, also in C major, which was written quickly at the age of 17, "Roma" was written over an eleven-year span, between the ages of 22 and 33 (he died at age 36).
 Bizet was never fully satisfied with it, subjecting it to a number of revisions, but died before finishing his definitive version.
 All four movements were performed in his lifetime, but never all on the same occasion.
 The full symphony in its latest revision was premiered in 1875, after his death.
 It is perhaps because of Bizet's dissatisfaction that the work is often said to be "unfinished".
 However, in the form in which it exists today, it is a complete work and is fully scored.
 It has been recorded a number of times but is not often heard on the concert platform. Carmen: A Hip Hopera
Carmen: A Hip Hopera is a 2001 musical film produced for television by MTV and directed by Robert Townsend.
 The film stars Beyoncé in her debut acting role (predating her theatrical film debut in "Austin Powers in Goldmember"), Mos Def, Rah Digga, Wyclef Jean, Mekhi Phifer, Da Brat, Joy Bryant, Reagan Gomez-Preston, Jermaine Dupri and Lil' Bow Wow.
 It is based upon Georges Bizet's 1875 opera "Carmen", set in Philadelphia and Los Angeles in modern times, and features a mostly original hip-hop/R&B score in place of Bizet's opera. Carmen (novella)
Carmen is a novella by Prosper Mérimée, written and first published in 1845.
 It has been adapted into a number of dramatic works, including the famous opera of the same name by Georges Bizet. L'Arlésienne (Bizet)
Georges Bizet composed L'Arlésienne as incidental music to Alphonse Daudet's play of the same name, usually translated as "The Girl from Arles".
 It was first performed on 1 October 1872 at the Vaudeville Theatre (now a cinema known as the Gaumont Opéra).
 Bizet's music consists of 27 numbers (some only a few bars) for voice, chorus, and small orchestra, ranging from short solos to longer entr'actes. Bizet himself played the harmonium backstage at the premiere performance.
