The Pearl Fishers

On the Ceylon coast. Every year, fearless pearl divers plunge into the wild sea to find precious shells. From among them they choose the bravest to be the leader of the dangerous enterprise and the most beautiful maiden to be the temple servant. Zurga and Leila agree to take on these tasks. But suddenly Nadir appears. Long had he lived in the solitude of the mountains to forget the oath that binds him to Zurga. Both once loved Leila, but promised each other to give up their friendship for the sake of their friendship. Leila and Nadir's encounter is the beginning of an enchanting love story, which at the same time raises the question of morally correct behavior.

This opera full of exotic sound worlds and orientalizing colors reflects a great interest in the distant foreign. The soloists can shine in famous vocal numbers such as the friendship duet Au fond du temple saint , the tenor aria Je crois entender encore or the soprano bravura aria Comme autrefois dans la nuit sombre .
