Approved

It's a great romantic opera about friendship, jealousy and betrayal. Georges Bizet, later the famous composer of the opera "Carmen", attracted a great deal of attention in 1863 with the opera "Les pêcheurs de perles". His successful opera is set among pearl fishermen in India who are doing dangerous work. And so, with a classic conflict about two men who love the same woman, Georges Bizet delves into a mysterious, distant world with its own laws. Friends Zurga and Nadir meet again after many years among the pearl fishermen. Zurga was chosen to be their leader, Nadir traveled extensively, both once loved the same woman, Leïla, and for the sake of their friendship renounced this love. Now the conflict breaks out again, because the priestess who is supposed to beg the goodwill of the gods for the fishermen in the temple is none other than Leïla. Despite the strictest prohibition, Leïla falls in love with Nadir in the temple. Deeply saddened and insanely jealous, Zurga is faced with a difficult decision: follow the law of community and punish the lovers, or does he follow the law of love and betray the community? Does he give free rein to jealousy and hatred or does he act humanely? In this great romantic opera, Georges Bizet shows for the first time all his musical art in melody, color and atmosphere as well as the dramatic development of deep, emotional conflicts. Australian conductor Nicholas Carter makes his debut conducting the Gürzenich Orchestra.
