How many acts are in the opera in which Habanera appears?
Habanera (aria) Habanera is the popular name for "L'amour est un oiseau rebelle " ("Love is a rebellious bird"), one of the most famous arias from Georges Bizet's 1875 opera "Carmen". It is the entrance aria of the title character, a mezzo-soprano role, in scene 5 of the first act. It is based on a descending chromatic scale followed by variants of the same phrase in first the minor and then the major key, corresponding to the vicissitudes of love expressed in the lyrics. The vocal range covers D to F♯ with a tessitura from D to D.
El retablo de maese Pedro El retablo de maese Pedro ("Master Peter's Puppet Show") is a puppet-opera in one act with a prologue and epilogue, composed by Manuel de Falla to a Spanish libretto based on an episode from "Don Quixote" by Miguel de Cervantes. The libretto is an abbreviation of chapter 26 of the second part of "Don Quixote", with some lines added from other parts of the work. Falla composed this opera "in devoted homage to the glory of Miguel de Cervantes" and dedicated it to the Princess de Polignac, who commissioned the work. Because of its brief length by operatic standards (about 27 minutes), its very challenging part for a boy opera performer (who has by far the most lines), and its use of puppets, it is not part of the standard operatic repertoire.
