Georges Bizet
Carmen Suite No. 1
"Les Toreadors"
The Carmen Suites are two suites of orchestral music from the music of Georges Bizet's 1875 opera Carmen and compiled posthumously by his friend Ernest Guiraud.
Theme from Prelude to Act I and Procession of the Toreadors from Act IV: Les voici! voici la quadrille des Toreros!
It is sung by the bullfighter Escamillo when he entered in act 2 and described various situations in the bullring, the cheering of the crowds and the fame that comes with victory. (toréador is a French term for "bullfighter")
