Song Meaning of “Bizet: Carmen, WD 31, Act 1: “Mais nous ne voyons pas la Carmencita !” – “Quand je vous aimerai?” (Chœur, Carmen)” by Georges Bizet
As we hear the joyful chorus of the opera “Carmen” swell, the question is asked “Where is the love we have been longing for?” In this passionate aria we feel the anticipation as the chorus awaits the entrance of the title character. When Carmen arrives, the chorus questions her: “When will you love us?” The longing for love from this beloved character signals a desire to have her passion and intensity bestowed upon them. As the chorus urges her to love with all her heart, they invite the listener to explore what lies ahead and to anticipate the beauty and intensity of her powerful presence.
