The Pearl Fishers
Swansea City Opera
By Georges Bizet
Performed in English
A fishing village in ancient Ceylon (Sri Lanka) is the setting for Bizet’s steamy tale of a tautly woven friendship, loyalty and forbidden love.
Swansea City Opera has built a fine reputation for touring high quality opera and their revival of The Pearl Fishers is no exception, presenting a
visual dramatic spectacle with vibrant costumes and a torrent of passion, loyalty and tension.
The ceaselessly seductive score includes one of the most famous and beautiful operatic duets ever written for tenor and baritone - ‘Au Fond du Temple
Saint’, which is sure to enthrall audiences.
“Pearl of a show! A splendid evening…” Huddersfield Daily Examiner
“Utterly glorious, …a heavenly rendition of the duet” South Wales Evening Post
