Carmen's Habanera | Opera Singer REACTS | *SPOILERS*

Carmen = Queen

Prove me wrong. Another Aria Explained - this time one I'm SURE you'll recognize. Georges Bizet's femme fatale makes a big entrance with her Habanera. We look at three different sopranos, Maria Callas, Agnes Baltsa and Elina Garança and see why Habañera and Carmen in general has become such a staple in the repertoire, and why plagiarism worked out this time!

Aria Explained, will look at different arias every month to bring the drama closer to you. No more wondering what the heck is going on! Sit back and enjoy the ride. You want drama? Go to the opera.

EDIT: Thank you to a lovely watcher who explained to me that there is no ñ in Habanera! I, as well as others, have spelled it like that, and although I can't change it in the video, know that it's wrong! Thank you @PlugInKali!

**Next video live: September 26th!**
