Les pêcheurs de perles is another real masterpiece of French opera by the 19th century author who composed the world-renowned Carmen; it premièred on September 30, 1863 at Theatre Lyrique in Paris. The oriental storyline of the opera inspired Bizet to compose the most exquisite melodies in opera music; most recognised of them is the friendship duet in the first act of the opera Au Fond Du Temple Saint performed by the main characters. In the 19th century, the French audience admired everything foreign – thrilling images of unexplored countries, exotic foreigners and mystical animals were recreated in music and art. The music of the opera is defined by an unbelievable flow of melodies and exotic orchestration. Les pêcheurs de perles continues the tradition of bringing operatic masterpieces to the audience as concert performances. Previously, Mozart’s La clemeza di Tito, Catalani’s La Wally, Bellini’s I puritani, Verdi’s Simon Boccanegra and Rossini’s Wilhelm Tell were performed with great success.
