How do I handle this famous piece?
According to Wikipedia, "The prelude to act 1 combines three recurrent themes: the entry of the bullfighters from act 4, the refrain from the Toreador Song from act 2, and the motif that, in two slightly differing forms, represents both Carmen herself and the fate that she personifies".
Would I just enter this as "Prelude [Carmen]" or similar, and ignore the fact that it quotes works which appear later in the opera?
