Most people today know the story of Carmen from Bizet's opera, commonly reputed as the most popular opera ever written. However, Carmen originated in a different form with French author Prosper Mérimée who heard an anecdote, when traveling in 1830 through Andalusia, Spain, recounted by the Countess Montijo. The story was of a Gypsy girl who had been killed by her jealous lover. Over the next fifteen years the story grew in his mind enlarged by impressions from his other travels in Spain, his own emotional experiences and his reading on the Gypsies and Spain. His novella Carmen was published in 1845.
