Born: 25 October 1838, Paris,
France Bizet, Georges This gifted composer did not win much success and appreciation in his own life, and despite his great talent, the crowd rejected many of his pieces, particularly in the area of opera. The son of two musicians , he was born in Paris and showed musical talent at an early age. At the age of 12, he wrote his first compositions. He became a brilliant pianist and wrote many compositions, including the Symphony in C. Like Gounod and Berlioz, he won the Prix de Rome and moved to Rome for 3 years. During these years, and although he felt safe with his financial situation, Bizet began to have doubts about his talent. In 1863, his opera, "The Pearl Fishers", was raised without success. His greatest opera, "Carmen", was also poorly received, although it ran almost 50 performances. Both the public and the critics considered it indecent and also argued that the melodies in the opera were not good enough. Bizet became very disappointed and his illness caused his death a few weeks later. But since then "Carmen" has definitely become the most popular opera in the world.
