Georges Bizet died only 3 months after the Paris premiere of his last opera, Carmen. He missed its premiere in Vienna 4 months after his death which launched the opera into popularity. Carmen is a seductive gypsy, easily giving and taking away her love. In Habanera, she sings: love is a rebellious bird that no one can tame. Of course if she'd tried to tame herself, she probably wouldn't have ended up dead by the hand of a scorned lover in Act 4.
