Carmen's opera appreciation

The opera Carmen is a classic work of French composer Kabi in the 9th century. Carmen is adapted from a novel. In order to make the plot develop reasonably and put it on the stage, Carl boldly adapted it on the basis of retaining the essence, making the plot clues concise and concentrated, and the characters' personalities more distinct and prominent.

This opera Carmen has four acts: in the first act, Carmen fell in love with Don Jose at first sight; The second act, the first contradiction; The third act, the contradiction intensifies; Act four, killing Carmen angrily.

The story of the opera is briefly summarized as that Carmen, a beautiful and stubborn gypsy girl, fell in love with the handsome young Don Jose, making him fall in love and leaving her lover in the country. Later, Don Jose was arrested and imprisoned for letting Carmen, who was fighting with a female worker, go free. After he got out of prison, he joined Carmen's smuggling gang. Later, Carmen fell in love with the brave and chic matador Escamilo, and Don Jose killed Carmen in jealousy and anger.

The opera "Carmen" combines the lyrics expressing her inner feelings with passionate music melody, which makes Carmen express her strong pursuit of freedom in singing and creates an image of Carmen with passionate feelings, love for freedom and distinctive personality. In the first act, Carmen sang the famous song of Habanella, which clearly showed Carmen's love for freedom.

The song sings: "love is an unruly bird, and it is difficult for people to tame it." Even if it is coerced, it will not give in. No matter how much you say, it is not easy to listen. " But later, it was Carmen's view of love that led her and Jose to a dead end step by step, just like the card divination said, "First I died, then he died."

In just over two hours, the emotional changes and plot development of the characters are in line with the logic of the play. In addition, although this is not a tragedy, as someone commented, "it has comedy elements", it is not difficult to detect, because there are a lot of light bridges and music at the beginning and in the middle. But this opera with a tragic ending is not as sad as Romeo and Juliet.
