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