Summary of This Score

This major new edition of Carmen has been designed as a reliable and practical tool for conductors, orchestra musicians, singers, and production teams. It offers the text in French and English, and most importantly reintegrates the original dialogues, essential for respecting the dramaturgy and theatrical pacing of the opera. The edition also stands out by utilizing specific sources : it incorporates information drawn from documentation of French productions from Bizet's time, revealing elements of stage and musical practice that were not preserved in certain scores or librettos of the era, and which are also absent from other common editions. Finally, its preface, both informative and directly performance-oriented, illuminates editorial choices and guides interpretation (articulation between dialogues and musical numbers, dramatic coherence, production preparation), to facilitate effective work both in rehearsal and performance.
