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.” This character (10[1]-5[1])throws a flower (10[1])to a man while singing a song comparing herself to a “rebellious bird.” (10[1])This character chooses the toreador (10[1])Escamillo as her lover (10[2])over Don José, (10[2])who then stabs her to death (10[1]-5[1])at a bullfight. For 10 points, name this Romani woman who sings the “Habanera” (10[1])in an opera titled for her (-5[1])by composer Georges Bizet. ■END■ (10[3])
