When he first heard Carmen, Tchaikovsky enthusiastically predicted it would become the world's most popular opera. Wagner, too, was an admirer of this dramatic masterpiece, and Brahms claimed to have seen it 29 times. At its premiere in Paris in 1873, however, Carmen did not succeed with the public or the critics. Indeed, it created a scandal. But in time, as Tchaikovsky foresaw, it would become the favorite opera of audiences worldwide. And in over a century Carmen has never relinquished its position as one of the most performed and recorded operas in the repertoire.Conceived and composed as an opèra comique (a genre it completely transformed), Carmen was converted after Bizet's tragic early death to grand opera with the addition of recitatives composed by Ernest Guiraud. This superbly produced full-score edition replicates this grand-opera version, the one most commonly produced on operatic stages today.Accustomed to the light and sentimental subjects and conventions of opèra comique, Bizet's public and critics were at first horrified by Carmen's lurid plot and characters. Critics pronounced its story, dominated by sexual passion and jealousy, too "obscene" for the stage, called for the mezzo-soprano portraying Carmen to be hauled into court, and disparaged the music as unoriginal and undramatic. Soon, fortunately, this hysteria subsided, further productions were mounted, and the world embraced this towering music drama with its compelling flesh-and-blood characters and the tragic fate their unruly passions make inevitable.Musicians and music lovers alike will find in this inexpensive yet well-made edition an ideal way to study and savor the unique merits of Carmen, whose central struggle is so movingly expressed and advanced in the rich and dramatic themes and textures of the music itself, not merely in the libretto. With this score in hand, they can enjoy both live and recorded performances of what is perhaps the best-known and most beloved opera in the world.

" On m'a dit quelquefois que je devrais faire un livre sur Bizet, et ce livre, je ne l'ai jamais fait, et je ne le ferai jamais. Est-ce à moi, d'ailleurs, à le faire? Est-ce à l'élève d'apprécier les ¿uvres de son maître? Est-ce à l'ami de raconter la vie de son ami? Comment s'y prendra-t-il pour trouver et garder le ton juste, et ne risque-t-il pas de mal servir une chère mémoire en voulant trop bien la servir? Pour mon compte je l'ai toujours pensé, et j'ai cru qu'il valait mieux me borner à fournir des documents aux musicographes plutôt que de me constituer moi-même le biographe de Bizet. Voilà pourquoi, après avoir une première fois, en 1877, réuni dans une courte brochure, avec trop de réserve, sans doute, des souvenirs et des extraits de sa correspondance avec moi, je me décide aujourd'hui à publier à peu près intégralement les lettres qu'il m'avait adressées et à ra- conter les faits que je n'avais pas rapportés alors dans mon opuscule. C'est que j'étais gêné, en effet, par la préoccupation de ne pas me mettre en scène, de ne pas paraître céder aux suggestions d'un vilain amour- propre, et, en cherchant à éviter un mal, je tombai dans un autre. Heureusement, les lettres restent, et leur texte, au moins est-il là, tandis que les souvenirs,¿c'est une loi constatée par les historiens, s'altèrent et se déforment, si même ils ne s'effacent pas complètement. Il se peut donc que j'aie oublié des détails intéressants et que d'autres aient perdu pour moi de leur netteté. J'aurais dû tout écrire en 1875, au lendemain de la mort de Bizet, quand ma mémoire était bonne parce que j'étais jeune. Rien ne m'aurait empêché de retarder la publication de ce manuscrit; à présent, je le retrouverais, et bien des mots curieux, bien des conseils instructifs eussent été conservés. Enfin, si j'ai eu un très grand tort à cette époque en négligeant de tout noter, c'est une raison de plus pour consigner ici ce dont je continue à me souvenir en prévenant toutefois que s'il y a des points qui sont demeurés clairs dans mon esprit, il risque d'y en avoir d'autres où il y a peut-être de la confusion lorsque ce n'est pas une perte, une entière disparition."
