query: When was Carmen created?
passage: Carmen
Carmen (French pronunciation:​[kaʁmɛn]; Spanish:[ˈkaɾmen]) is an opera in four acts by French composer Georges Bizet. The libretto was written by Henri Meilhac and Ludovic Halévy, based on a novella of the same title by Prosper Mérimée. The opera was first performed by the Opéra-Comique in Paris on 3 March 1875, where its breaking of conventions shocked and scandalized its first audiences.
passage: Marie Carmen
Associated with the bands Accident, Blood et Marie and The Radio Rats in the early 1980s, she subsequently became a backing vocalist for Claude Dubois and The Box, and was later selected by Luc Plamondon to play the role of Marie-Jeanne in a revival of "Starmania". She subsequently released her debut album as a solo artist, "Dans la peau", in 1988. She has since released four more studio albums and a greatest hits compilation, and participated in another production of "Starmania" in 2000, this time in the role of Sadia.
