About the Opera
At the age of 25, Bizet (who also composed the popular opera Carmen) wrote The Pearl Fishers. Set in the exotic location of Ceylon (modern day Sri Lanka), the opera tells the story of the love triangle between Zurga, Nadir and Leïla. The show also features one of opera's most beloved songs, "Au fond du Temple Saint" (Pearl Fishers Duet).
