We do not know if it had any practical consequences, but it did ignite a spark of inspiration in Peter Brook, Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire and director of mythical theatre, film and opera. Guided by Prosper Mérimée, he asked the French composer Marius Constant to do him a version of the famous Bizet opera that would strike straight to the heart of the fatal seductive powers of Carmen the fortune teller...
