The 'Toreador Song' from Bizet's opera 'Carmen'
The character Escamillo sings the toreador song from Bizet's opera 'Carmen'. The performance is from a grand production on stage in an opera house accompanied by a full orchestra, cast and chorus. The French libretto is translated into English appearing as captions at the bottom of the screen as the character sings the gory story of the bullfight and is joined by the chorus in what is perhaps the most famous of all operatic arias.
