Fifth Scene: The Tavern
The gypsies saunter and sing with Dorotea while Carmen tries to charm Lieutenant Zuniga. She leads him to the tavern and asks him to mingle with the spectators. Carmen lures him with a beguiling dance, accompanied by the male fantasy of female eroticism. As soon as the sensual mood, whipped up by Carmen, reaches its climax, she throws herself into Zuniga’s arms.
