	Henri Meilhac - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Henri Meilhac (February 21, 1831 – July 6, 1897), French dramatist and opera librettist, was born in Paris.
		While a young man, Meilhac began writing fanciful articles for Parisian newspapers and vaudevilles, in a vivacious boulevardier spirit which brought him to the forefront.
		However, Meilhac's work is most closely tied to the music of Jacques Offenbach, for whom he wrote over a dozen librettos, most of them together with Halévy.

		It did not help that to Meilhac and Halévy, Carmen was just another piece (between 1855 and 1875 they collaborated on over forty works).
		If Meilhac and Halévy were a little off hand, at least they were aligned to Bizet's cause.

		Finally de Leuven consented yet still pleaded, "But I pray you, try not to have her die." Although de Leuven agreed to allow the composition of the work, he never overcame his disgust with the plot and the resultant tension contributed to his resignation.
		The librettists, Halévy and Meilhac, were a successful team, writing for vaudeville and operettas and they clearly regarded Carmen as a sideline.
		Following the tradition of opéra comique, Carmen in its original form combined spoken dialogue, written by Meilhac, with lyrical pieces, the verses of which were written by Halévy.

		The composer had already written several operas that were performed in Paris, but not one of them had been completely successful.

		The opera was to have appeared in the spring of 1874 but it was not ready in time, so it was premièred on 3 March of the following year.
