Georges Bizet's one-act opera Djamileh premiered at the Opéra-Comique in Paris on 22 May 1872, following a delay in finding suitable singers.
The work, based on Alfred de Musset's tale Namouna, was composed in late 1871. Director Camille du Locle suggested the piece to Bizet. Despite careful attention to costumes and sets, the opera had little success, running for only ten performances before closing.
