Description

Léo Delibes' "Lakmé" premiered at the Opéra Comique in 1883 and remains one of the most popular French operas to this day. It tells the story of the Indian woman Lakmé and a British officer torn between love and loyalty to the woman's father, a Brahmin priest. Delibes composed magnificent music for it, including the audience-favorite "Flower Duet" and the "Bell Aria". Laurent Pelly staged the work in a modern yet simple production.
