The Pearl Fishers Duet—one of Bizet’s most beloved melodies—is performed here by Lyric favorites Matthew Polenzani (Nadir) and Mariusz Kwiecień (Zurga). In it, they swear their loyalty to each other and promise that no woman will ever come between them again. Spoiler alert: Leila’s back and these guys don’t stand a chance. We'd like to extend our warmest thanks to our union partners for allowing us to share some extended-length clips during this time. Enjoy this beautiful clip from our 2017/18 p
