Carmen

Carmen, a classic opera dating back to 1845, tells the tragic story of a Love Triangle between a corporal, a bull fighter, and the mysterious, exotic, alluring, hedonistic, independent, flirtatious gypsy woman simply known as Carmen.

Tropes used in Carmen include:

Badass Baritone: Escamillo, a classic example
Betty and Veronica: Micaela and Carmen for Don José
- Male version: Don José and Escamillo for Carmen
The Cast Showoff: Whoever plays Carmen must be a great singer and a good dancer.
- Any guy who plays Escamillo must be a prize show-off: let Sam Ramey show you how it is done.
Crazy Jealous Guy: Don José
Dance of Romance: Carmen dances for Don José when they are reunited in act II.
Destructive Romance: for both main characters, but especially Don José
Downer Ending
Green-Eyed Monster
Femme Fatale: Carmen
Hair of Gold: Micaela
Hot Gypsy Woman: Carmen
"I Am" Song: Votre toast (Toreador's Song); possibly L'amour est un oiseaux rebelle (Habanera)
If I Can't Have You
Large Ham
Love Makes You Evil
Love Triangle: Micaela/José/Carmen and José/Carmen/Escamillo
