ALEXANDRE CESAR LEOPOLD GEORGES BIZET
25^thOctober 1838 --- 3^rdJune 1875

Alexandre Cesar Leopold Georges Bizet (1838-75), French composer, born near Paris, the son of a teacher of singing.
He studied under Halevy at the Conservatoire, and won the Prix de Rome, 1857, with a cantata, Clovis et Clotilde.

The best of his earlier operas, "Les Pecheurs de perles" produced 1863, "La Jolie Fille de Perth" (after Scott), 1867 and
"Djamileh" 1872, suffered in popularity from the charge due to the 'Wagnerism' the others were neglected or sadly were
remained unfinished. His music for "Alphonse Daudet's drama, L'Arlesienne" 1872, was a lot more successful, and has
remained a standard work in the form of 2 suites for orchestra.

His masterpiece, "Carmen" completed in 1875, written to an adaptation by Meilhac and Halevy of Merimee's tale of the
same name, at first scandalised Paris by its realism and did not achieve its great popularity until after Bizet's death on
the night of its 31st performance. His "Symphony in C" undiscovered till quite recently, and written when he was 17, is
now frequently performed. Bizet married a daughter of Halavy in 1865.
