Round 11: 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.” (10[2]-5[2])This character throws a flower to a man while singing (-5[1])a song comparing herself (10[1])to a “rebellious bird.” (10[2])This character chooses the (10[1])toreador Escamillo (10[1])as her lover over Don José, who then (10[1])stabs her to death at a bullfight. For 10 points, name this Romani woman who sings the “Habanera” (10[1])in an opera titled for her by composer Georges Bizet. ■END■ (10[2]0[2])
