“Au fond du temple saint" Nadir – Zurga Duet Les pêcheurs de perles - The Pearl Fishers David Montefiore – Nadir / Howard Nevison – Zurga Maestro Glen Clugston, pianoforte Les pêcheurs de perles -The Pearl Fishers is an opera in three acts by the French composer Georges Bizet, to a libretto by Eugène Cormon and Michel Carré. It was premiered on 30 September 1863 at the Théâtre Lyrique in Paris, and was given 18 performances in its initial run. Set in ancient times on the island of Ceylon (Sri Lanka), the opera tells the story of how two men's vow of eternal friendship is threatened by their love for the same woman, whose own dilemma is the conflict between secular love and her sacred oath as a priestess. The friendship duet "Au fond du temple saint", generally known as "The Pearl Fishers Duet", is one of the best-known in Western opera. Georges Bizet Alexandre César Léopold Bizet; 25 October 1838 – 3 June 1875 was a French composer of the Romantic era. Best known for his operas in a career cut short by his early death, Bizet achieved few successes before his final work, Carmen, which has become one of the most popular and frequently performed works in the entire opera repertoire. Glen W. Clugston, Musical Director/Conductor, worked extensively in American musical theatre, with conducting credits in leading regional theaters and opera companies, such as Kennedy Center, Los Angeles Music Center, Michigan Opera Theater, Augusta Opera and the Paper Mill Playhouse. He conducted several famous musicals around the country, such as “Annie”, “My Fair Lady”, “Fiddler on the Roof”, “Oklahoma!” and “1776”. Clugston notably served as Musical Director for the first production, with piano, of Victor Herbert’s Natoma in nearly one-hundred years at the White Barn Theater in Westport, Connecticut. Educated at the Julliard School of Music, Clugston has concertized in 22 countries around the world, including the Berlin Festival and the Osaka Festival in Japan. Maestro Clugston is the Co-founder of New York’s American Opera Repertory Company. We hear him accompany the singers of the AORC at the pianoforte in the premier 1976 performance in Federal Hall, celebrating the American Bicentennial. A New York highlight included Halevy’s “La Juive,” a work which hadn’t been presented in New York since Enrico Caruso’s time and Mascagni’s “L’Amico Fritz”. His opera experience also includes conducting “La Boheme”, “La Traviata” and “Madame Butterfly” for the Philadelphia Lyric Opera. Clugston presented successful U.S. premiere concerts of Antonio Vivaldi’s operatic works, reconstructed from manuscript obtained from the Turin, Italy Library. He was music director and conductor for the premiere of “The Cantata for Lord Mountbatten”, for chorus and orchestra, commissioned by Lady Mountbatten.
