I love Bizet's Carmen. An opera full of "hit songs". It even exists as a musical called Carmen Jones, same music, but the story is moved to USA and the guy is a boxer. It is actually very good. Thanks for sharing

Very interesting about the musical... I'm a casual Musical appreciator, but I'd never heard of this one. Thanks for the clue!

Short and sweet. Lots of percussion in the score. I guess it uses the same notation as a drumset.

This small section of the score has, in the percussion section: Timpani, Bass Drum, Triangle and Crash Cymbal/Piatti. The cymbals and bass drum are played in unison. When I entered the score in MS3, I just used drumset notation, but I moved it over to individual instruments in MS4 to get the better instruments.

Yes.. A grand interpretation.. Short and fabulous

Onward! Bold! Yeah!
