Rare. Crawford p. 53. Fuld pp. 585-586. Hugh Macdonald: The Bizet Catalogue Online. Bizet's masterpiece, composed in 1873-1874 to a libretto by H. Meilhac and L. Halévy after Mérimée, was first performed in Paris at the Opéra-Comique on 3 March 1875 under the baton of Adolphe Deloffre (1817-1876). "Bizet might have surpassed all the many composers active in France in the last third of the 19th century had it not been for his untimely death at the age of 36. Carmen, first performed three months before his death, has become one of the most popular operas of any age. . Carmen was orchestrated at Bougival in the summer of 1874 and rehearsals began in September. Bizet arranged the piano score himself and played the piano for rehearsals. . [It] is recognized as one of the greatest of 19th-century operas, and certainly the most popular. Its tunes are familiar to millions, and its evocation of Spain, where Bizet never set foot, has done as much to propagate the elements of the style as Spanish music itself. . In Carmen the combination in abundance of striking melody, deft harmony and perfectly judged orchestration ensures the opera's immortality. It magnificently transcends both the genre of opéra comique and the norms of 19th-century French music. . Carmen has remained one of the most frequently performed operas in the entire repertory. Many great singers have been associated with its leading roles. The orchestral suite drawn from the opera is often played, and in 1954 it extended its currency in a film version, Carmen Jones. For three-quarters of a century it was regularly played not as an opéra comique with dialogue, as Bizet wrote it, but with the Guiraud recitatives. It is now played almost everywhere in opéra comique format, although the edition on which modern performances rely, that of Fritz Oeser published in 1964, has aroused bitter controversy since it includes a quantity of music that Bizet himself rejected in his own edition of the vocal score published in 1875. That first edition, published by Choudens, is exceedingly rare, for it was replaced at an early stage by the first of many corrupt editions from the same house."
