In 2006 Seville was named as “City of the Music” by UNESCO due to the historical and rich musical tradition hoarded in the city. Among other works, we can highlight operas inspired and were set in Sevilla such as El Barbero de Sevilla by Rossini, Don Giovanni by Mozart and Carmen by Bizet. This last work is based on the original story by the French writer Prósper Merimeé, in which it is related the passionate, tragic and romantic story of a gipsy called Carmen and a soldier called José, who was taken away by his love to become a rascal.
