Although formally an Opéra comique and also referred to as such, Bizet's Carmen was a revolutionary break with this genre of opera. The realistic description of the milieu, drama and fateful tragedy made it a forerunner of verismo. The libretto was written by Henri Meilhac and Ludovic Halévy based on the novel of the same name by Prosper Mérimée. Because of this veristic plot, which the audience perceived as disturbing, the premiere on March 3, 1875 in the Opéra-Comique was received rather negatively. Soon afterwards, Carmen became one of the greatest world successes in opera history, which the composer did not live to see.

An extraordinary boom in Carmen variations has been recorded since the 1980s. In the same months in 983, in which Peter Brook presented an independent theatrical variant, The Tragedy of Carmen, and Francesco Rosi was shooting a Carmen film in the southern Andalusian city of Ronda, Carlos Saura's opera Carmen began to trigger a true flamenco fever worldwide. The chamber opera also contributed their rock version of the subject in May 1988 with Carmen Negra.

Now the trio, known from their New Year's Eve concerts in the chamber opera, consisting of Tommaso Huber, Sebastian Gürtler and Georg Breinschmid, has set itself the task of creating a new version of this opera hit. Tscho Theissing's arrangement will cast a unique, jazz-inspired look at the world-famous melodies and rhythms of George Bizet.
