    Apart from Susanna's Secret, are there any other operas where the heroine is a secret smoker?

    Question #109782. Asked by Baloo55th. (Oct 14 09 10:07 AM)

    		Carmen

    The immortality of the story, not to mention its murderous conclusion, was considered out of place in a theater considered so respectable. And women smoking on stage? Impossible! Even the members of the orchestra and chorus contributed to the problems associated with the work, for much of Bizet's music was thought not only bizarre but extremely difficult to perform.
