Os
Pescadores de Pérolas

Os Pescadores de Pérolas is Georges Bizet's three-act opera, with a libretto by Michael Carré and Eugène Cormon. It closes Theatro Municipal de São Paulo's 2026 lyric season. Set in old Ceylon, now Sri Lanka, it follows Nadir and Zurga, two friends in love with Leïla, a young priestess whose chastity vows protect her community; their reunion years later revives dormant feelings, and Zurga must reconcile friendship, love and duty to his people. The staging has stage direction by João Malatian, new set design by Giorgia Massetani, and costumes based on Naum Alves de Souza's original 1995 creation, adapted by Fernanda Câmara and Mila Reily. The Orquestra Sinfônica Municipal is conducted by Roberto Minczuk, and the Coro Lírico Municipal appears with Hernán Sánchez Arteaga, joined by guest dancers in choreography by Luiz Fernando Bongiovanni. Performance in Sala de Espetáculos. Full-price tickets are R$47.00 to R$290.00.
