The veiled priestess Leila is to provide protection with her singing.
When Zurga's childhood friend Nadir returns, an old conflict flares up: Both once loved the same woman and swore to renounce her. Now they recognize that same lover in Leila. Nadir and Leila break their vows and are sentenced to death. At the decisive moment, Zurga intervenes: he remembers that Leila once saved his life, overcomes his jealousy and allows the lovers to escape.
Due to the loss of the score, the intentions of the 25-year-old Bizet to musically frame the remote setting can be guessed above all from the rhythm and harmony of the large choral scenes. The famous duet Au fond du temple saint , a renewal of the vow of fidelity between Nadir and Zurga, is at the center of the work, both thematically and musically.As rarely as Die Perlenfischer was performed after its premiere on September 30, 1863, the ending of the third act was changed just as often. In almost every revival and new production in the course of the 19th century, different main characters had to die in new ways. In the meantime, it has become customary to play Bizet's original version again, of which, however, no score has survived, only the piano reduction, which is why reconstructions have to be used, especially in the orchestration.Order your tickets for the Vienna State Opera and book your tickets now at viennaticket.at.
