Be the first to experience our breathtaking production of The Pearl Fishers.

Join us for the dress rehearsal of Bizet’s The Pearl Fishers, and be swept away by this timeless tale of love, desire and betrayal. Written 10 years before Carmen, Bizet’s trademark melodies brim with emotion including the famous friendship duet ‘Au fond du temple saint’.

Bizet’s spellbinding soundscape soars under the baton of conductor Matthew Kofi Waldren, and Director Matthew Eberhardt’s atmospheric semi-staged production – exclusive to Leeds – brings a thoughtful and modern approach to this 160-year-old work.
