The tripartite structure of this chapter employs the conceit of offering different perspectives on the intersection of Carmen and flamenco in the Belle Époque loosely framed around the basic elements of the artform: toque y palos, baile and cante. French and Spanish opera singers of this period, from Emma Calvé to Elena Fons and Maria Gay, sought hispanic authenticity for their Carmens by drawing on the Spanish entertainment cultures of Seville, Granada and even Barcelona. During the Belle Époque the rise of flamenco and its global recognition occurred almost in tandem with Carmen’s establishment in the international operatic repertory. Bizet was largely unfamiliar with flamenco and composed Carmen while flamenco as we recognise it today was still coalescing in Spain, especially in the flamenco-orientated cafés cantantes of Seville and Madrid. Yet this nexus only developed gradually during the first three decades of the opera’s existence. Bizet’s gypsy protagonist is often depicted as a flamenco performer while it has become commonplace to perceive aspects of flamenco in Bizet’s score. For PLA, she performed the title role of the Zarzuela 'Luisa Fernanda', the Mother in 'Amhal and the Night Visitors', the title role in Bizet’s 'Carmen', Santuzza in 'Cavalleria rusticana' and Maddalena in 'Rigoletto' in 2014.For over a century, flamenco has been closely associated with productions of Carmen around the world. Performances include Maddalena in Verdi’s 'Rigoletto' in Argentina, Rosina in the 'Barber of Seville' and concerts in the San Diego area as well as Mexico.
