Carmen is an opera comique in four acts by Georges Bizet with libretto by Henri Meilhac and Ludovic Halévy, based on the story of the same title by Prosper Mérimée.

The opera premiered at the Opéra Comique of Paris on 3 March1875, denounced by critics as "immoral" and "superficial".


The State Opera was built to coincide with Friedrich II idealistic view that the arts, science and politics should be symbolised through great architecture. He commissioned his friend and architect, Georg Wenzeslaus von Knobelsdorff with the job and it was built by 1744. On August 18, 1843 the Opera house was destroyed by fire. A new opera building, with Carl Friedrich Langhans as architect, was inaugurated the following Autumn. In the 1920's the Opera house underwent a major reconstruction and reopened in April 1928. Many famous people have graced the stage such as Felix von Weingartner, Karl Muck, Richard Strauss, and Leo Blech.
