Carmen and Gypsy Culture

In a romantic work, the desire for distant land is increasing with the imagination of composers, so the interest in exoticism is getting more and more popular. Composers of these works are not very interested in credibility; they are most interested in creating a picturesque atmosphere that appeals to the audience. (Machlis p.190) Bizzé made romantic the gypsy culture through his role "Carmen" in his opera. While focusing on the working class and its sufferings, the script creates an idea related to a new theme of "naturalism".

About 1820, in Seville, Spain, the most exciting Gypsy Carmen was all girls near the cigarette factory. There are many men and women. She sang "Habanera", where she was fascinated by the young people there. However, only protected soldiers, Don Jose was not interested in her. Carmen threw flowers to him provocatively and left. José imprisoned for leaving Carmen was just released one month later She went to a pub to meet her. He took the flower in his hand and told her what she felt. Carmen did not tell José the name and asked me to be with her. Jose is very worried. He can not help himself to be a smugglers with her.

A group of gypsy smugglers was frustrated when trying to bring their smuggling items into the city. To help her relatives, a muggy Carmen seduced him, gave him his position and persuaded to see other directions. When his obsession led him to kill fellow security guards to prevent her being arrested, he became a fugitive wanted. Capricious, whimsical Carmen hated his possession and left him in the famous Matador of Seville. An irritated Don Jose, who was made crazy, accompanied a tragic result and brought her to the bullring.

Carmen is a semi-wild, attractive creature born to become a gypsy living with a group of smugglers at a mountain near the coast of Spain. The smugglers tried to send their illegal items that were defeated by the military soldier, Don Jose, to the town. Carmen was sent by smugglers and local tavern leader Pastia. And he gave him the opportunity to forget his duty and bring smugglers with their merchandise. Carmen worked at a cigarette factory near the city wall, explained himself in the vicinity of Don Jose, and announced that he would dance at a pub in the evening. Carmen danced at a pub in the evening and she was an attractive center. Her success with Don Jose's brothers Morales and the young bullfighter Escamiro who went to Seville from Seville failed.
