Carmen, M rim e's classic tale of passion and power, provided the inspiration for one of the world's most enduringly popular operas, and numerous films.
According to a letter M rim e wrote to the Countess of Montijo, Carmen was inspired by a story she told him on his visit to Spain in 1830. He said, "It was about that ruffian from M laga who had killed his mistress, who consecrated herself exclusively to the public...As I have been studying the Gypsies for some time, I have made my heroine a Gypsy."
