Ah what the heck, it  takes place in Spain right, Seville  LOL.

 

A performance of Carmen at the The Metropolitan Opera. in New York City.

 

Never knew this song had singing, just thought it was only instruments, nor it was sung in French, always thought it was in Spanish LOL

 

 Les voici! Voici la quadrille! (Here they are, Here They Are, Here is the quadrille!)
Here is the quadrille!

What a Master peace that song is. 

 

 

Moving on to the military aspects, I am impressed by the wardrobe got all those Spanish Police hats, I always knew these were worn by Spanish Cops, but thought they were civilian city and town police, and worn you know like British Bobby hats. But the organization is the Guardia Civil and are a para military organization in some respect, like they pull UN Peacekeeping duty, and even were in Afghanistan. Even found that they had some units on Cuba and in Puerto Rico during the Spanish American War.

 

The hat of course is still worn today.
