SEPTEMBER 1-3 Georges Bizet's OPERA "PEARL SEARCHERS"
At the beginning of the first theatrical season, the Dubai Opera presents the opera by Georges Bizet performed by the Theater. Giuseppe Verdi in Trieste. The plot of the opera, unfolding in ancient times on the island of Ceylon, tells of two friends who vowed that love for a woman would not stand between them and would not destroy their friendship. The plot follows the traditions of the lyric opera.
It is interesting that both librettists later regretted that at that moment when they were creating the text, they had no idea about the talent of the composer, otherwise they would try to provide him with a much better text. Although the opera is rarely staged, it is recorded quite often, especially the famous tenor aria "Je crois entendre encore" and the duet for tenor and baritone "Au fond du temple saint". The famous touching duet is one of the many masterpieces of the score.
