Georges Bizet Quotes
In 1857, Bizet Departed For Rome And Spent Three Years There. He Studied The Landscape, The Culture, Italian Literature And Art. Musically He Studied The Scores Of The Great Masters. At The End Of The First Year He Was Asked To Submit A Religious Work As His Required Composition. As A Self-described Atheist, Bizet Felt Uneasy And Hypocritical Writing A Religious Piece. Instead, He Submitted A Comic Opera. Publicly, The Committee Accepted, Acknowledging His Musical Talent. Privately, The Committee Conveyed Their Displeasure. Thus, Early In His Career, Bizet Displayed An Independent Spirit That Would Be Reflected In Innovative Ideas In His Opera Composition.
