Composer
Georges Bizet
Carmen was judged a failure at its premiere and he died three months later at thirty-six, before it became one of the most performed operas in the world.
Georges 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.
