In 1933, Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack, two audacious and visionary directors, dared to create a motion picture that eclipsed everything seen until then: when King Kong was released, it was celebrated as an artistic and technical revolution and became the first myth created by the young cinematic art.

Deemed too scandalous by the bourgeois audience at the Opéra-Comique, Georges Bizet’s "Carmen" received a frosty reception on the night of its Paris premiere, March 3, 1875. Devastated by the scandal, the composer died three months later of exhaustion and despair, at the age of just 36. A fascinating exploration of this work that has become a universal classic.
