Met Opera Summer Encores: Les Pecheurs de Perles

Director
Penny Woolcock
Certificate
12A

Director Penny Woolcock conjures up an undersea world on stage as she brings Bizet’s opera of lust and longing back to the Metropolitan Opera for the first time in 100 years.

Set in the Far East, it stars soprano Diana Damrau as Hindu princess hottie Leïla, whose rival pearl diver suitors are tenor Matthew Polenzani and baritone Mariusz Kwiecien. It’s back on screen in the Met Summer Encores season.
