Yeah....so far Bizet is a bit dense and *really* long, so it was kinda hard to follow. I'm more a fan of the more compact, shorter symphony style than the huge, epic operas really. Operas seem to be more story driven, with lapses and musical interludes occuring every once and a while but prolonged vocal passages more the norm...which can get kind of boring. The opening sequence to "Carmen" was cool as hell, though, as well as the famous theme.
