About Grave of Bizet

Georges Bizet’s grave stands in division 68 of Père-Lachaise Cemetery, on Avenue de la Chapelle. The monument was inaugurated in 1876, the year after the composer’s death, and was designed by Charles Garnier, architect of the Paris opera house. A red Sampans-stone sarcophagus with a pitched roof supports a stele shaped like a truncated pyramid. Its bronze lyre and laurel wreath give the memorial a musical theme; the portrait bust was the work of sculptor Paul Dubois. These architectural and sculptural details are the main features to look for when locating the tomb. Bizet is closely associated with Carmen, so the grave is a relevant stop on a walk focused on musical figures buried in the cemetery. Père-Lachaise remains a working burial ground, and visitors should respect funerals and people attending graves. Cemetery evacuation begins fifteen minutes before closing.
