For sheer exotic beauty, Bizet’s
The Pearl Fishers
has few rivals in the entire repertoire. The opera’s
famed duet for tenor and baritone is a soaring melody that has turned countless opera newcomers
into ecstatic fans. Bizet (who composed this work 12 years before
Carmen
) transports us to
Ceylon, where two devoted friends find themselves in love with the same woman, an entrancingly
beautiful priestess, Leïla. From its leading men and leading lady,
The Pearl Fishers
demands the
ultimate in vocal beauty and elegance to do justice to this sweepingly romantic drama.
