  • I danced to an instrumental version of this at a ballet production in London in 1999, beautiful!

  • @flamgirla35 we actually dressed as 'Pearl Fishes' :)

  • I don't understand why the Met doesn't produce an opera like this one. I'm tired to see

    always the same, this music is divine.

  • I sang in the chorus of this production in san francisco, before it went to Washington. The tenor is Charles Castronovo, who was fantastic in this role; extremely consistent and lovely singing, which doesn't seem evident in this video. I think it was a bad day or maybe he wasn't feeling well, because he was glorious in each of the SF performances. He was also very friendly and modest throughout the run.

  • tenor has a flutter in his voice. odd. but nice sound. Beautiful all in all........who is sop?

  • I saw this production! This tenor IS wonderful.

  • this tenor is great

  • it KILLS me that I live in Southern California, and I have to go to San Diego to enjoy this beautiful opera! LA, OC and even Long Beach, where I live perform the same five tired warhorses constantly, but never this gem.

  • I love this opera

  • Just beautiful and so powerful. Always makes me weep with joy.

  • Me too

  • The tenor is Charles Castronovo.

  • The Tenor is not Carreras.

  • who is tenor???

    carerras??

  • We are doing Les Pecheurs de Perles during the Mauritius Opera Festival in September 2009 along with some artists coming from Germany!

  • Very interesting staging of this very strange but beautiful opera.

  • what about a prayer to 'Brahma'?

  • We did The Pearl Fishers 3 years ago, I love the music! My favorite duet and chorus songs ever! The end of the prayer to brahma is truly amazing, where the sopranos go up to a B flat and suspend it while the others go up by whole steps 4 measures from the end. I love it! It made me cry every rehearsal it was so beautiful.

  • I saw this live at the Kennedy Center last night and it was amazing. This is my favorite version of the song.

  • GO LITTER BEARERS!
