Georges Bizet's father-in-law who co-wrote the libretto for Carmen was named Halevy. Its other librettist H. Meilhac is an anagram for Lechaim -the Hebrew toast meaning to life. Was Bizet Jewish?

Georges Bizet was not Jewish. His father-in-law was Jacques Fromental Halévy (1799 -- 1862), born in Paris to a distinguished Jewish family. Halévy was the composer of La Juive (the Jewess) which was produced at the Paris Opéra; he was not a librettist.
