Staged by: Fabio Sparvoli

Bizet is more than Carmen. In his opera Les pêcheurs de perles (The Pearl Fishers) you find melodies to die for and not only the vocal music is beautiful, but also the orchestral and ballet pieces too. The opera includes "Warhorse" romance in every tenor's repertoire: "Je crois entendre encore", the tenor-baritone duet "Au fond du temple saint". The tenor "has the most beautiful romances, some of which are nothing less than exceptional, and able to ensure Bizet's eternal fame." (Corriere della sera)

"[Ciofi's] clear, incisive soprano catches Bizet's floating line and liquid coloratura with fluent ease, and she seems a touch mature only in close-up - alongside the youthful Dmitry Korchak, a fine lyric tenor needing only a little more power...Chorus and orchestra are well handled by Gabriele Ferro, and the recording is excellent." BBC Music Magazine, March 2015 ****
