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 (-5[1])“Dat’s Love” for a film adaptation with an all-black cast that gave her the surname “Jones.” (10[1]-5[1])This character (10[1])throws a flower to a man while singing a song comparing herself (10[1])to a “rebellious bird.” This character (10[1]-5[1])chooses (10[1])the toreador Escamillo as her lover (10[1])over Don José, (10[1])who then stabs her (10[1])to death at a bullfight. For 10 points, name this Romani woman who sings the “Habanera” in an opera titled (10[1])for her by (-5[1])composer Georges Bizet. ■END■ (10[3])
