Wikipedia Picture of the Day - June 2nd, 2021 - Célestine Galli-Marié (Narrated by Matthew) Célestine Galli-Marié (1837–1905) was a French mezzo-soprano who is most famous for creating the title role in the opera Carmen by Georges Bizet. It was said that, during the opera&33rd performance on 2 June 1875, Galli-Marié had a premonition of Bizet&death while singing in the third act, and fainted when she left the stage; the composer in fact died that night and the next performance was cancelled due to her indisposition.
