The Toreador Song is the popular name for the aria "Votre toast, je peux vous le rendre" from the opera Carmen, composed by Georges Bizet to a libretto by Henri Meilhac and Ludovic Halévy. It is sung by the bullfighter Escamillo as he enters in act 2 (toréador is an old Spanish term for "bullfighter") and describes various situations in the bullring, the cheering of the crowds and the fame that comes with victory. Elements of this aria re-appear later in Carmen: of note "Toréador, en garde", which follows shortly after "Votre toast...".
