Georges Bizet’s opera Les pêcheurs de perles, premiered in Paris.

Georges Bizet’s opera Les pêcheurs de perles (The Pearl Fishers) is a three-act opera composed in 1863, with a French libretto by Eugène Cormon and Michel Carré. Although it’s not as famous as Bizet’s later masterpiece, Carmen, it is still highly regarded for its beautiful music, particularly the famous tenor-baritone duet “Au fond du temple saint” (In the Depths of the Temple).
