Georges Bizet
Georges Bizet (25 October 1838 – 3 June 1875) was a French composer of the Romantic period. He is best known for his opera Carmen, which is the best-known of all French operas.
Bizet was born in Paris and died in Bougival.[1] After he died, most of his work was not popular. Many of the manuscripts he made were lost.[2] After many years, his work started to be performed more.[2][3]
