Elina Garanca 演Carmen演得非常好，法文的这段歌词(H. Meilhac and L. Halevy)

也非常押韵，作曲是比才最后的一部作品。 

我问了gemini, Is opera Carmen the last work of Bizet? gemini says:

Yes, Carmen was Georges Bizet's last major work.

Bizet finished composing the opera in the summer of 1874, and it premiered in Paris on March 3, 1875. Tragically, he died only three months later on June 3, 1875, at the age of 36.

Key Facts About Bizet’s Final Days

• Premature Death: Bizet died of a heart attack following a series of throat infections. He passed away on his sixth wedding anniversary, just as Carmen was reaching its 33rd performance.

• The "Failure": Popular legend often says Bizet died of a "broken heart" because the opera was initially rejected by critics and the public as scandalous. While the stress likely took a toll on his health, modern historians point out that the opera was actually gaining traction and selling tickets at the time of his death.

• Posthumous Success: Bizet never lived to see Carmen become a global sensation. It wasn't until a production in Vienna later that year—and subsequent runs in London and New York—that it was recognized as one of the greatest masterpieces in operatic history.

• Incomplete Revisions: Because he died so soon after the premiere, Bizet was still in the middle of revising the score. His friend, Ernest Guiraud, famously stepped in to compose the recitatives (the sung dialogue) that allowed the opera to be performed in grand opera houses outside of France.

Other "Late" Works

While Carmen is his final major composition, he did write a few smaller pieces in the years leading up to it, such as:

• L'Arlésienne (1872): Incidental music for a play, which is now famous as two orchestral suites.

• Patrie (1873): A dramatic concert overture.

• Duo for Bassoon and Cello (1874): One of his very last instrumental pieces.
