About This Song
About "Bizet: Carmen, Act 1: Habanera. "L'amour est un oiseau rebelle" (Carmen, Chœur)" by Barbara Hendricks
Bizet's Habanera slinks forward with smoky defiance. Hendricks delivers Carmen's credo not as a seduction but a warning: love is a rebellious bird, and her voice coils around the chorus like a snake in sunlight. Desire as danger.
