Which opera has a plot that follows a female tobacco factory worker?
In the opera, 'Carmen' by French composer Georges Bizet, the plot here specifically follows a female tobacco factory worker. The opera is one that was first performed in Paris in March 1875. It reportedly shocked and scandalized audiences because it went against conventions.
The opera takes place in southern Spain, and it tells the story of a young soldier who falls prey to the fiery wiles of a gypsy named Carmen. Accordingly to help with the entire storyline, a very important scene is disclosed in Act I. As a factory bell begins to ring, cigarette girls emerge and exchange banter with young men in the crowd ("La cloche a sonné"). Next, Carmen enters; she sings her provocative habanera on the unpredictable nature of love ("L'amour est un oiseau rebelle"). Men then plead with her to choose a lover, and after some teasing she throws a flower to Don José, who had been ignoring her but is now annoyed by her behavior.
In all the years that have followed its opening, 'Carmen' has become one of the most beloved and frequently performed operas in famous opera facilities all over the world.
