No. 1. Prélude – Act I, prelude (fate motive)
No. 1a. Aragonaise – Interlude (entr'acte) before act 4
No.2. Intermezzo – Interlude (entr'acte) before act 3
No. 3. Séguedille – Act 1, Carmen: "Près des remparts de Séville"
No. 4. Les Dragons d'Alcala – Interlude (entr'acte) before act 2
No. 5. Les Toréadors – Theme from prelude to act 1 and Procession of the Toreadors from act 4: "Les voici! voici la quadrille des Toreros!".
