Carmen in Paris

SAS-Space now holds a collection of reviews from the opening nights of Bizet's Carmen at the Paris Opéra Comique, part of the Francophone Music Criticism project, hosted by the Institute of Musical Research.

The collection is based on Lesley Wright's’s Georges Bizet, 'Carmen' - dossier de presse parisienne (1875), 'Critiques de l’Opéra français du XIXe siècle’ 13 (Weinsberg: Lucie Galland, 2001). It was prepared by Isabella Yeager (Smith College) under the direction of Mark Everist (University of Southampton) and was supported by a SAS Dean's Development Fund award. The directors of the network are grateful to Lesley Wright and Karl Leich-Galland for agreement to reproduce parts of this publication.
