BIZET, GEORGES (1838 - 1875)
Bizet won early success as a composer and initially as a pianist.
His later career in Paris was more variable, and a number of stage
works remained unfinished at the time of his early death, which
took place as his most famous opera, Carmen, was enjoying increasing
favour.
Operas and Stage Works
Bizet's last opera, Carmen, is among the most famous of all operas, with its realistic Spanish setting and strongly dramatic story. Concert audiences are familiar with two concert suites drawn from the opera. His melodrama L'Arlésienne, a collaboration with the writer Alphonse Daudet, was coolly received in the theatre. The two suites from the work are well known, the second arranged by Bizet's friend Ernest Guiraud.
Orchestral Music
Bizet's only surviving symphony, written in 1855, was rediscovered and first performed in 1935.
Piano Music
Popular piano works include the two-piano Jeux d'enfants, Children's Games.
