I want to see this Opra for myself. Of course the cast is diffrent, but im sure its still fantastic!

It was first seen at the Opéra-Comique of Paris on 3 March 1875. It was almost withdrawn after its fourth or fifth performance, and although this was avoided, ultimately having 48 performances in its first run. Near the end of this run, the theatre was giving tickets away in order to stimulate attendance. Bizet died of a heart attack, aged 36, on 3 June 1875, never knowing how popular Carmen would become. In October 1875 it was produced in Vienna, to critical and popular success, which began its path to worldwide popularity. It was not staged again at the Opéra Comique until 1883.
