Marius and Daniel at one of their outings at the local opera. [Prince Lestat era]

This is very specific for my interests. I've seen Carmen myself last week. (this may or may not be implying that Marius has a mild crush on Carmen. They'd be a terrible couple. But as she's entirely fictional, he's allowed to dream :) )

By the way, some of the subtitles are just a part of the video, while others require you to click CC to see them.

His greatest success was the opera „Carmen“ first performed three months before his death. Take a look on his biography. Here we see a old postcard and a portrait.
