Les pêcheurs de perles

by Georges Bizet

On the remote and unspoiled beaches of the Indian Ocean the arrival of a mysterious woman hidden by a veil tests the strong bond between two men. A long night enhanced by a sensual and exotic score. A passion that flares up and leads to a surprising final stake. Staged for the first time on September 30, 1863 at the Théâtre Lyrique in Paris, Les pêcheurs de perles is the first successful opera of the then twenty-four Georges Bizet and contains one of the most popular aria of the tenor repertoire, the poignant Je crois entender encore.
