First Edition.<br/><br/>In one act to a libretto by Louis Gallet after Alfred de Musset's story Namouna Djamileh was first performed in Paris at the Opéra-Comique Salle Favart on May 22 1872.<br/><br/>"Bizet's score is full of inventive touches especially in its use of chromatic colour widely mistaken for Wagnerism in 1872. In the final duet the music takes on a more serious and passionate tone and Djamileh is characterized from the beginning by a darkly expressive melody. Her main solo the 'Ghazel' blends exotic colour chromatic side-slips suppressed passion and the key of D minor to give a strong foretaste of the Habanera in Carmen."
