“So I pick Carmen. But maybe Carmen was the wrong choice. Carmen is a French opera by Georges Bizet, and it’s all about love and jealousy. It takes place in Spain, but they sing in French, which doesn’t make sense, sure, but you sort of have to go along with it. Don José is in the army, and he falls in love with Carmen, a gypsy girl, who every person in the world is already in love with. She’s just that beautiful. But Carmen doesn’t really believe in love. She thinks it’s silly. She just... happens to be good at it. She sings a whole song about how good she is at love, and how because she’s so good, she can’t be good to just one person, she needs to go and be good to a lot of people. A lot. Don José gets jealous and goes crazy, and when Carmen goes off with a bullfighter, he stabs her. Operas are like that. Lots of people go crazy, and somebody almost always dies, and somehow it’s always all about love. I like Carmen.MoreLessRead More Read Less
