		The musical descendant of the contradanza, the habanera or contradanza habanera (Havana-style contradanza), the habanera's distinguishing musical feature is its short, repeating 2/4 rhythmic figure in the bass line:
		In 1890, Eduardo Sanchez de Fuentes' habanera "Tu" became so popular, both within and outside of Cuba, that it epitomized the form.
		According to preeminent Cuban music historian Alejo Carpentier, the habanera was never called such by the people of Havana (for them it was just the local style of contradanza).

	Habanera (aria) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The "Habanera" is an aria from the opera Carmen by Georges Bizet, adapted
		Habanera for a discussion of the history of the habanera.
		The translation there is a literal translation that tries to preserve the rhythm of the original at the expense of nuance of meaning in places.

		On this debut CD she sings lots of favorites and a few surprises (the Maid of Orleans aria is a nice treat; "O mon Fernand" in the original French is most welcome).
		There are moments when you wish that her sound were darker and more contralto-ish, as in Sapho's aria (which also suffers from the occasional lapse in pitch) and Romeo's opening scene from Capuleti, but the shining top makes up for that lack.
		Kitic also seems to miss the point as Dalila, Mignon's aria passes by unnoticed, and she doesn't seem to be totally comfortable with either French or Italian, although the former is better.

		Fourthly, the scene is really an aria in the cavatina-cabelleta format, which became popular in Italian opera of the 19th century.
		In this aria, however, the cavatina-cabelleta format is interrupted by a section of accompanied recitative.
		The Duke’s aria “La donna e mobile” is a very familiar melody to many, and is a good example of Italian opera style with its simple, homophonic accompaniment; basic harmonies; and memorable, symmetrical, lyrical melody.

		In going public about vocal surgery and being outspoken about how one must constantly care for the voice differently over the course of a career, he has changed the way the opera world thinks of vocal health and how a career can be rejuvenated.
		After explaining that the staccato approach is not appropriate for the vocal instrument, and adjusting how Daniel used hand gestures during the aria, he showed Daniel how to "caress the phrase" in a manner without physical movement, but using vocal tone-coloration.
		Milnes explained how cadenzas within an aria must not be too long or the audience might receive a signal that the piece has ended prematurely.

		It is interesting that while Charlotte is classified as a classical crossover artist, I always felt that she played the arias relatively straight - simply allowing her more youthful sound to create the crossover appeal.
		This arrangement of "Habanera" however, is half aria and half latino dance track, and if anything is even bolder than the similar things recorded by Brightman or Watson It represents a bold move by Charlotte, and the first true operatic crossover that she has performed.
		Habanera is an opera song which is not meant for her.

	Reviews of Christina \| Evolution, Jimmy Cliff \| The Ultimate Collection, and Pornosonic \| Unreleased 70's Porno Music
		"Habanera" is a show-stopper, and is more than worth the price of admission.
		Christina's biography notes that she "had the pleasure of performing for Ed Mirvish's 80th birthday celebration." Guess I missed that gig.
		Six of the album songs are originals written or co-written by Christina, including "If You Love Me" and "Place in My Heart." In the main, the album features a soft pop sound, reminiscent of Vonda Shepherd.

		He has several arias and orchestral excerpts repeat throughout the film in a leitmotif manner, gives originally vocal melodies to various solo instruments, and generally treats the opera score as atmosphere for the movie which is not a staging of the opera.
		A soprano and tenor, seated with the pit orchestra, occasionally sing excerpts from a few arias and duets, but are treated as other instruments.
		Several scenes from the opera are truncated and their original sequence is re-ordered; for example, De Mille chose to begin the film with a suspense-filled purple-tinted night shot of smugglers at work near the coast of Seville, which in the opera does not occur until Act III.

		During her entrance number, the "Habanera," Carmen must establish character through gestures while at the same time singing an aria which, in its unmistakable quality as cabaret performance, refuses access to that character.
		Once past the "Habanera," her acting found greater conviction, though she seemed less comfortable with flamenco poses and broad gestures evocative of the brothel than with the resigned fatalism of the 3rd and 4th acts.
		Tenor Jonathan Boyd's effortlessly clear tone and excellent French diction (not to mention his transformation in Act IV into a debauched Nicholas Cage-lookalike), created a strong and memorable Don José, saving the character from his sometime fate as a sadly deluded mama's boy.

	Bel Cantanti, Singing Superbly in a Place to Call Its Own
		All 13 company members got a chance to sing in the choruses from Bizet's "Carmen" and Donizetti's "La Fille du Régiment" (an opera that might not be French in origin, but certainly is in spirit).
		Baritone Bryan Jackson projected enormous energy and considerable beauty in everything he touched, and was as compelling as Mephistopheles in "Le veau d'or" from Gounod's "Faust" as he was contemplative in his duet "Au fond du temple saint" from Bizet's "Les Pecheurs de Perles" with tenor Kevin Perry (who handled several ensemble assignments with assurance).
		Mezzo Abigail Wright delivered an aria from Ravel's "L'Heure Espagnole" with delicious flair backed up by splendid diction, and soprano Meghan McCall handled the "Chacun le sait" aria from "La Fille du Regiment" with humor and energy.

		The source of the text is from the Habanera aria sung by Carmen (you would all recognize it if you heard it).
		Finally, the text from the aria was stamped in the dark brown.

		But if they know who you are in the HabanÃ©ra, then you have the evening in front of you.
		Micaela's aria is, except for the beginning of Act I, the only time Carmen can go change a costume or do any other âprivate thing' she has to do during the performance.

		For our performance the USD Symphony re-orders five of the six movements from the standard Carmen Suite No. 1, replacing the instrumental version of Seguidilla with the original aria from the opera, and includes another aria in our suite, the celebrated Habanera.
		The aria Habanera was based on the melody of a song by the Spanish composer Sebastian Yradier (1809 1865).
		In the aria Seguidilla, Carmen, imprisoned for stabbing a co-worker, sings to seduce the soldier Don Jose to release her.

		The most notable innovation is an alternative version of Carmen's entrance aria.
		Set to an almost identical text, it is sprightly and flirtatious where the famous Habañera is sultry and seductive.
		Confusingly, this recording places the alternative aria right after the Habañera, where it feels like a cabaletta.

		I’ve almost got the lyrics to Habanera memorized (which, given that they’re in French and that I don’t speak French, I think is pretty good).

		The arias, ensembles, and choruses here are almost all first-rate, with only occasional minor descents into the typically French and fluffy moments that so mar his earlier works; this full orchestral score from Dover shows Bizet's accomplishment in its entirety.
		From the Overture, which concludes with its fatalistic theme, to each of the Spanish-style dances, among them Habanera, Seguidilla and Gypsy Song (all arias for Carmen), the soft melody of the Prelude to the final act and the concluding final scene, are all magnificent interpretation.
		Her signature aria, "Habanera" compares her to a rebellious bird of freedom, a lawless Gypsy child and boasts that her love belongs to no one man. Her Gypsy Song is full of fire and mischief.

		One writer characterizes the opening section as: "The 'rubbing up' of Carmen's chromatically descending melody against a dotted bass ostinato forever associated with brazen sexual appeal and swinging gypsy hips."
