This week's live matinee broadcast from New York's Metropolitan Opera is a performance of Georges Bizet's Les Pêcheurs de Perles, or The Pearl Fishers. Bizet's lesser-known opera, often overshadowed by the ever-popular Carmen, is returning to the Met's stage for the first time in 100 years. The story follows Leïla, a beautiful princess who is pursued by rival pearl divers competing for her hand in marriage. Love, treachery, and revenge abound in this melodic work; catch the live performance this Saturday at noon on KUAF.
