Frasquita

Frasquita’s part in Bizet’s Carmen, spoken in French — Act II to Act IV, 11 tracks, 21 minutes, 299 lines of text.

Spoken slowly by an opera singer whose mother tongue is the language of the score, one line at a time, with the phonetic transcription underneath. Slow a phrase without changing its pitch, loop the line that will not sit, and read along as the voice moves.
