In the wake of exoticism in the 19th century, remote locations and apparently foreign musical elements were also very much in vogue in opera. In 1863, Georges Bizet was commissioned by the director of the Parisian Théâtre Lyrique to compose such a piece - it was Bizet's first major opera that he was allowed to present. The triangle story from the pen of the experienced librettists Cormon and Carré offered strange rituals, beautiful natives, but between which the same storms of feeling are kindled as in the pieces set in the Old World.

The pearl fishermen await the consecrated Virgin, who should calm the sea with her prayers so that the fishermen can safely go about their work. Zurga, their new leader, and his friend, the hunter Nadir, had once fallen in love with the same girl, but for the sake of their friendship had sworn that they would both renounce her. But Nadir secretly broke the oath and approached the girl. When the veiled virgin approaches, she has to swear that she will never belong to a man. But by the sound of her voice, Nadir immediately recognizes in her the girl he loves, Leila. The lovers meet at night, but are caught by the high priest Nourabad. Zurga has to sentence them to death. First he wants to pardon the friend and the maiden, but when Nourabad tears down the veil of the virgin and Zurga has to discover Nadir's betrayal, he condemns the couple to death in jealous fury. He quickly regrets his decision, especially since he learns from Leila, who is asking for Nadir's life, that she once saved Zurga's life. When the lovers are led to the execution, Zurga sets a fire in the fishermen's tent camp to give Nadir and Leila the opportunity to escape in the ensuing chaos.
