## The Story and Success at the Met
Bizet's *Les Pecheurs de perles*, set in Sri Lanka, is renowned for its iconic tenor - baritone duet. But the score is filled with enchanting and dramatic music. When staged at the Metropolitan Opera in New York, it was a huge hit.
### Production by Penny Woolcock
Woolcock's modern concept, with references to the 2004 tsunami through photography and video, and a stunning 'aquatic' overture spectacle, made the production stand out. The stage seemed beneath the Indian Ocean, with acrobatic divers 'diving' from above.
### Musical Performance
Conducted by Paolo Noseda, the performance was top - notch. Diana Damrau shone as the priestess Leila. Tenor Matthew Polenzani (Nadir) and baritone Mariusz Kwiecien (Zurga) delivered passionate performances in their love - filled rivalry.
As the *New York Times* noted, Kwiecien was an ideal Zurga, Polenzani a believable Nadir, and Damrau brought her all to Leila. Noseda's conducting made every musical moment count.
