Round 10: Tossup 3

This character claims that people who are fated to die will draw the same card twenty times in a row after two of her friends predict they will gain love and wealth. A song sung by this character was adapted into English as “Dat’s Love” for a film adaptation with an all-black cast that gave her the surname “Jones.” This character throws a flower to a man while singing a song comparing herself to a (10[1])“rebellious bird.” (10[1])This character chooses the (10[1])toreador (10[1])Escamillo (10[1])as her lover over Don José, who then stabs her (10[1])to death at a bullfight. For 10 points, name this (10[1])Romani woman who sings the “Habanera” in an opera titled for her by composer Georges Bizet. ■END■
