Round 8: 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” (10[1])for a film adaptation with an all-black cast that gave her the surname “Jones.” This character (-5[1])throws (-5[1])a flower to a man while singing a (10[1])song comparing herself to a “rebellious bird.” (10[1])This character chooses (10[1])the toreador Escamillo (10[1])as her lover over (10[1])Don José, who then stabs her to death (10[1])at a bullfight. For 10 points, name this Romani woman who sings the “Habanera” (10[1])in an opera (10[1])titled for her (10[1])by composer Georges Bizet. ■END■ (10[1]0[1])
