Sail away to an island paradise for a hypnotic romance from the great Georges Bizet (Carmen). Pearl Fishers’ themes of forbidden love, friendship and the always-alluring draw of exoticism come together to create a production that looks intriguing.
Pearl Fishers, composed twelve years earlier and not particularly well-received, has enjoyed a sort of revival in the past fifty years, resulting in many performances and recordings worldwide.
The production opens on Saturday, October 17 and will run through October 31.Īudiences are familiar with Bizet for his oft-performed Carmen, whose strong heroine, sexy habanera and tragic end is generally lauded as the pinnacle of melodramatic opera. In August, they sent us to ancient Babylon for Nabucco, and now we set sail towards Sri Lanka for their newest production, George Bizet’s The Pearl Fishers. Seattle Opera is traveling the world with their 2015-16 season.
