The Pearl Fishers

"This version strips away the later additions to the opera and really shows the strength of Bizet’s imagination, and the final scene with two lovers escaping, leaving one lover behind to face almost certain death with catch at your heart."

"The State Opera of South Australia has done a remarkable job putting together a truly enjoyable productiion, with attractive sets and colourful costumes"

"The Pearl Fishers is an entertaining and colourful depiction of the power of love in an age of white male colonisers finding themselves drawn to attractive, exotic indigenous women"
