The Pearl Fishers (Chorus) - Vancouver Opera
Julia Rooney is thrilled to return to her first full stage production since the pandemic. The Pearl Fishers returns to Vancouver Opera for the first time in nearly 30 years. Directed by Vancouver favourite Rachel Peake, this dramatic opera tells the tale of two devoted friends and the woman that comes between them. The famous “Friendship Duet”, Au fond du temple saint, is one of the most beautiful and recognizable pieces in the opera repertoire. Be swept away by the lush orchestration and Bizet’s trademark melodies. This production is under the baton of Kamna Gupta and features breathtaking choreography by Krystal Kiran.
