A veces, la gra melena del "cheef
d'orchestre" nos impide yer la tiple,
y cuandO e&tiende, hOrizontales, los
brazos, desaparecen, casi, dos tres
cOristas. Los decOradOs los trajes
son mOdestos. PerO los artistas can
tan la Orquesta interpreta las pagi-
mas de Bizet con agil seguridad. Sc
Oye la opera.
En- un entreacto, nos sentamos en-
ell cafe con un amigo. Pedimos, para
los dos, media botella de champan Y
unas pastas. Pagamos damOs pro-
pima: 1850. iS6le la media bOtelIa
de champan mes ha cOstado cerca do
80 centavos.
Y, al cabO, una vez que Carmen ha
caidO terra con ell pechO atravesa-
do pOr la 'navaga" de don Jose, re-
tOrnamOs a casa vOlvemOs echar
cuentas. iQue horror! Ito que he
mos gastadO! mo nos quedan mas
que diez centimOs en- Ell bOlsillO!
