  Bizet's Carmen
The original story had to be adapted to conform to the conventions and expectations of the audience accostumed to bourgeois melodrama.
Nevertheless, Carmen would soon become the most popular opera of all time and the Spanish Gypsy the enduring symbol of the exotiziced romantic construction of Spain, as can testified by the numerous versions and resurrections of Carmen, on stage, on screen, even on ice.
Amazingly, as to this day Carmen is still often claimed, in academic discourse and in popular culture, to represent the pure -unmediated- spirit of Spain.

CARMEN was developed because there was an increasing awareness among PAHO member countries that non-communicable diseases (NCDs) account for nearly two-thirds of the total number of deaths in the Americas, and that, to a large extent, these diseases are dependent on risk factors and lifestyles which are amenable to modification.
The purpose of the CARMEN program is to improve the health status of the population by reducing the prevalence of the risk factors associated with non-communicable diseases (NCDs).
CARMEN builds a countrywide effort upon local demonstration areas, which apply existing prevention knowledge to set in motion the processes required to achieve the objectives of CARMEN and to learn more from these experiences to extend the lessons to the rest of the country.

 Carmen - Georges Bizet
One word in Act II sets the entire tone: Rene Pape, a preposterously slim and glamorous figure, is singing the Toreador Song, complete with leap to the stage from a tabletop between phrases without missing a beat, and he concludes with “L’amour”.
Carmen has perhaps dallied with the scout precisely because he looked too pretty to be aroused, where the Don Jose of a McCracken or a Shicoff would seem dangerous to awaken.
The open-air inn of Act II means that Carmen gets intimate with Don Jose where the whole neighborhood can look on and, presumably, would, but her tabletop vocalises, taken in one easy breath, are so lustrous and alluring, neither Jose nor anyone else gives a damn.

 Amazon.com: Bizet: Carmen (complete opera) with Maria Callas, Nicolai Gedda, Georges Pretre, Paris Opera Orchestra: ...   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Even if Carmen is out of a soprano's repertoire, Callas should have showed off her versatility by singing it anyways like so many sopranos did after her - Leontyne Price sang Carmen, Beverly Sills even sang Carmen in the 50's when she was still an obscure singer, and most recently soprano Angela Gheorghiu sung Carmen.
Carmen is the role that one perhaps most regrets that she never essayed on stage, for her personal charisma and acting abilities no doubt would have resulted in a memorable live characterization.
Despite the fact that Carmen is a mezzo role, and was thus a wise choice for Callas in her vocal estate at that time, there are uncomfortable moments--unsteadiness on forte held notes near the top of the staff, and a pervasive inability to sing softly above a certain point.
