Question

In one duet, a character in this opera receives a letter encouraging him to marry a girl from his village. At the end of this opera’s second act, that character is persuaded to follow a group led by Le Dancaïre (“dawn-ka-EER”) and Le Remendado. (10[1])During the duet “C’est toi! C’est moi!,” (10[1])a woman in this opera enrages a suitor by tossing a ring back (-5[1])at him. A corporal defies the orders of his superior Zuniga (10[2])when he frees a woman’s hands after she sings him a seguidilla. While at Lillas Pastia’s tavern, that character sings the aria “La fleur que tu m’avais jetée,” or “The flower that you threw at me,” declaring his love for a woman who had earlier sung her habanera. For 10 points, (10[1])Don José (“zho-SAY”) stabs the title character to death when she rejects him for Escamillo in what Georges Bizet opera? ■END■ (10[1])
