  1. Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches.

  2. CARMENby Georges Bizet

  3. Act I: In the town square of Seville

  4. Everyone comes and goes through this square.

  5. What funny people…

  6. At the guardhouse door we kill time by smoking, gossiping, and people-watching.

  7. Everyone comes and goes through this square…

  8. Look at that cute one — I think she wants to talk to us. She’s turning and hesitating…

  9. We must go to her aid!

  10. What are you looking for, lovely lady?- I’m looking for a soldier.

  11. Here I am!- His name is Don José. Do you know him?

  12. We all know him.- Really? Is he with you?

  13. He’s not with our regiment.- So he’s not here?

  14. No, my charmer, but he will be here soon.

  15. He’ll be here with the changing of the guard.

  16. While you wait for him, pretty thing, would you care to come in with us?

  17. With you? No, thank you, kind soldiers.

  18. Enter without fear, sweetheart. I promise we will treat you will all due respect.

  19. I’m sure you would, but still, it’s wiser for me to return…

  20. I’ll return with the changing of the guard.- You must stay; the guard will be changing soon.

  21. Stay!- No! Good-bye, soldiers!

  22. The bell has sounded, and we’ve gathered for the return of the factory girls.

  23. We will follow you, dark cigarette girls, murmuring words of love.

  24. But where is Carmen?

  25. There she is! There’s Carmencita.

  26. Carmen, we’re all at your mercy.Be nice — at least answer us:

  27. Tell us when you’ll love us!

  28. When will I love you? I don’t know.

  29. Maybe never, maybe tomorrow…

  30. But certainly not today.

  31. Love is a wild bird that cannot be tamed.It’s useless to call him if he feels like refusing.

  32. Threats and prayers do no good. One man may be well-spoken and the other silent,

  33. and I may prefer the other, who said nothing but pleases me.

  34. Love is a lawless gypsy child.

  35. If you don’t love me, I love you.If I love you, beware!

  36. The bird you caught suddenly flies away.Love comes only if you don’t wait for it.

  37. All around you, swiftly it comes and goes.
