Context paragraphs:
Carmen Suite (ballet): Carmen Suite is a one-act ballet created in 1967 by Cuban choreographer Alberto Alonso to music by Russian composer Rodion Shchedrin for his wife, prima ballerina assoluta Maya Plisetskaya.  The premiere took place on 20 April 1967 at the Bolshoi Theatre, Moscow.  The music, taken from the opera "Carmen" by Georges Bizet and arranged for strings and percussion, is not a 19th-century pastiche but rather "a creative meeting of the minds," as Shchedrin put it, with Bizet's melodies reclothed in a variety of fresh instrumental colors (including the frequent use of percussion), set to new rhythms and often phrased with a great deal of sly wit.  Initially banned by the Soviet hierarchy as "disrespectful" to the opera for precisely these qualities, the ballet has since become Shchedrin's best-known work and has remained popular in the West for what reviewer James Sanderson calls "an iconoclastic but highly entertaining retelling of Bizet's opera."

Symphony in C (Bizet): The Symphony in C is an early work by the French composer Georges Bizet.  According to "Grove's Dictionary", the symphony "reveals an extraordinarily accomplished talent for a 17-year-old student, in melodic invention, thematic handling and orchestration."  Bizet started work on the symphony in C major on 29 October 1855, four days after turning 17, and finished it roughly a month later.  It was written while he was studying at the Paris Conservatoire under the composer Charles Gounod, and was evidently a student assignment.  Bizet showed no apparent interest in having it performed or published, and the piece was never played in his lifetime.  He used certain material from the symphony in later works, however.  There is no mention of the work in Bizet's letters, and it was unknown to his earlier biographers.  His widow, Geneviève Halévy (1849–1926), gave the manuscript to Reynaldo Hahn, who left it along with other papers to the archives of the conservatory library, where it was found in 1933 by Jean Chantavoine.  Soon thereafter, Bizet's first British biographer Douglas Charles Parker (1885–1970) showed the manuscript to the conductor Felix Weingartner, who led the first performance in Basel, Switzerland, on 26 February 1935.

Carmen, la de Triana: Carmen, la de Triana "(Carmen, the girl from Triana)" is a 1938 Spanish-German musical film directed by Florián Rey and starring Imperio Argentina, Rafael Rivelles and Manuel Luna.

Carmen Jones (film): Carmen Jones is a 1954 American musical film starring Dorothy Dandridge and Harry Belafonte, produced and directed by Otto Preminger.

Hammerstein also wrote the lyrics to music composed by Georges Bizet for his 1875 opera "Carmen".

Carmen Jones: Carmen Jones is a 1943 Broadway musical with music by Georges Bizet (orchestrated for Broadway by Robert Russell Bennett) and lyrics and book by Oscar Hammerstein II which was performed at The Broadway Theatre.

The Broadway musical was produced by Billy Rose, using an all-black cast, and directed by Hassard Short.  Robert Shaw prepared the choral portions of the show.
