Camille du Locle, the artistic director of the Opera-Comique, commissioned Bizet to write an opera based on Merimee's novel in early 1873 to be premiered at the end of the year. However, difficulty in finding a leading lady delayed rehearsals until August 1874. Bizet bought a house at Bougival on the Seine, where he finished the piano score in the summer of 1874, and took a further two months to complete a full orchestration.
