Premiering 12 years before Carmen, Bizet’s The Pearl Fishers is a spellbinding, lyrical gem in its own right. Its very famous duet “Au fond du temple saint” underscores the bond at the heart of the conflict between pearl fishers Zurga and Nadir: both are in love with the priestess Leïla. Grand choral passages and exotic dance sequences make it an intoxicating spectacle, in a production designed by Zandra Rhodes, internationally-renowned fashion designer.
Former Resident Artists Sean Panikkar and Craig Verm (both in The Grapes of Wrath, 2008), return as Nadir and Zurga, alongside soprano Leah Partridge as Leila and Andrew Gangestad as Nourabad, both in their Pittsburgh Opera debuts. Andrew Sinclair, from Royal Opera House Covent Garden, directs; Music Director Antony Walker conducts.
