Carmen

Synopsis
Carmen is a cinematic parody of Georges Bizet’s eponymous opera, one of the most frequently staged opera worldwide. The first image of Reiniger’s silhouette film shows Carmen flirtatiously smoking on a balcony. The sound of a fanfare heralds a regiment of elegantly marching soldiers.
