ABOUT THE PEARL FISHERS: u2028Can anything possibly surpass a midsummer night at the Santa Fe Opera? How about being simultaneously transported to tropical shores on waves of dreamy melody? Bizetu2019s first stage success is set in ancient times on the shores of Ceylon, where Zurga, ruler of the pearl fishers, is reunited with his long-lost comrade Nadir. Their friendship duet, which recounts a mutual passion for the heavenly Leila, is the epitome of bromance in music. Both men renounced her to save their friendship, but her unexpected return soon traps them again in the snares of love, and now they must make a choice. Conductor Timothy Myers and director Shawna Lucey lead this revival of our stunning 2012 production, which was called u201cThe best of this summeru2019s season,u201d by The Wall Street Journal, u201cTrue to the letter and the spirit of the work,u201d by the Chicago Tribune, and u201cAn unqualified success,u201d by the Denver Post.
