Les Pêcheurs de perles Bizet

Bizet’s luscious opera, The Pearl Fishers will bring to Austin the beauty of Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) in this heart-rending struggle to the death between friendship and love. In the instantly recognizable duet, “Au fond du temple saint,” best friends Zurga and Nadir swear that their friendship will never again be challenged by the love of a woman. Of course, as with all good foreshadowing, the arrival of a veiled and anonymous priestess does exactly that.

As the men each realize that the priestess is in fact Leïla, the woman they both once loved and fought over, the triangles at play in the opera are not simply between the three main characters. A battle also ensues between friendship, love, and vows made in faith, and as secrets are revealed and vows are broken, love can only be won through sacrifice. But who must ultimately lose everything to allow the others to find love and happiness?

Vowing friendship and vying for love will be two Austin newcomers. Baritone, Will Liverman, who will play Zurga, recently received enormous acclaim for his performance as Charles in the Metropolitan Opera’s Fire Shut Up in My Bones. Zurga’s best friend and love rival, Nadir, will be sung by internationally-renowned tenor and San Antonio-native, David Portillo. The priestess, Leïla, will be performed by soprano, Madison Leonard, who sang Gilda in Austin Opera’s Rigoletto in 2019 and who will have most recently played Chrisann Brennan in Mason Bates and Mark Campbell’s The (R)evolution of Steve Jobs in early 2022.

The vividly lush jungles, soaring palm trees, and scorched golden sand of this tropical island are vibrantly and delicately designed by acclaimed British 60s-wild-child fashion designer, Dame Zandra Rhodes. The Sarah and Ernest Butler Principal Conductor & Artistic Advisor, Timothy Myers, conducts this poignantly moving production.

English

la deliciosa ópera de Bizet, Los pescadores de perlas traerá a Austin la belleza de Ceilán (ahora Sri Lanka) en esta desgarradora lucha a muerte entre la amistad y el amor. En el dúo reconocible al instante, "Au fond du temple saint", los mejores amigos Zurga y Nadir juran que su amistad nunca más será desafiada por el amor de una mujer. Por supuesto, como todo buen presagio, la llegada de una sacerdotisa velada y anónima hace exactamente eso.

A medida que los hombres se dan cuenta de que la sacerdotisa es, de hecho, Leïla, la mujer a la que ambos amaron y por la que pelearon, los triángulos en juego en la ópera no son simplemente entre los tres personajes principales. También se produce una batalla entre la amistad, el amor y los votos hechos en fe, y cuando se revelan los secretos y se rompen los votos, el amor solo se puede ganar a través del sacrificio. Pero, ¿quién debe finalmente perderlo todo para permitir que los demás encuentren el amor y la felicidad?

Jurando amistad y compitiendo por el amor serán dos recién llegados a Austin. Barítono, Will Liverman, que interpretará a Zurga, recibió recientemente grandes elogios por su interpretación de Charles en el Metropolitan Opera's Fuego, cállate en mis huesos. El mejor amigo y rival amoroso de Zurga, Nadir, será interpretado por un tenor de renombre internacional y nativo de San Antonio, david portillo. La sacerdotisa, Leïla, será interpretada por soprano, madison leonard, que cantó Gilda en Austin Opera's Rigoletto en 2019 y quién habrá interpretado más recientemente a Chrisann Brennan en Mason Bates y Mark Campbell's La (R) evolución de Steve Jobs en 2022 temprano.

Las junglas vívidamente exuberantes, las altísimas palmeras y la arena dorada quemada de esta isla tropical están diseñadas de manera vibrante y delicada por el aclamado diseñador de moda británico de niños salvajes de los años 60, Dama Zandra Rhodes. El director principal y asesor artístico de Sarah y Ernest Butler, Timothy Myers, dirige esta conmovedora y conmovedora producción.
