Les pêcheurs de perles

About the show

Pearl fishers Zurga and Nadir renew their vow of friendship, unaware that Leïla, the priestess who arrives to pray for their safety, is the woman they once loved. When Nadir and Leïla reunite, Zurga’s jealousy condemns them, but he recognizes Leïla as the child who once saved his life and frees the pair during a fire. Later productions altered the ending, sometimes having Zurga killed.
