Perhaps the best-known duet in all of operatic literature comes from Léo Delibe's opera Lakmé : the "flower duet" for soprano and mezzo-soprano is not only popular in the concert hall, but has also become a real hit through its use in commercials and films. But Lakmé's «bell aria» is also one of the showpieces by famous vocal virtuosos. The title role of the opera is perfect for one of the outstanding French voices of our time: Sabine Devieilhe's soprano combines crystal-clear lightness of coloratura with colourful, lyrical warmth. At the Zurich Opera House she has been celebrated as the title character in Donizetti's Fille du régiment and as Sophie in Strauss' Rosenkavalier . On their 2017 albumMirages she has taken up the highlights from Delibes Lakmé in an exemplary manner and is dedicated to French composers of the late 19th century who were inspired by the musical coloring of distant countries. Leo Délibes celebrated great successes in Paris as a ballet composer with Coppélia and his main work Lakmé . Lakmewas premiered at the Opéra-Comique in 1883 and is about the unhappy love between the British officer Gérald and Lakmé, the daughter of the Brahma priest Nilakantha, who was fighting against the colonial rulers. In the concert performance of this opera, Edgardo Rocha can be heard alongside Sabine Devieilhe. The highly regarded bel canto tenor has already appeared in numerous Rossini roles at the Zurich Opera House, including the title role in Le Comte Ory , Narciso in Il turco in Italia and Cavaliere Belfiore in Il viaggio a Reims . With the bass-baritone Philippe Sly as Nilakantha and the baritone Björn Bürger as Frédéric, two very discoverable voices of the younger generation can also be heard for the first time at the Zurich Opera House.

Perhaps the most famous opera duet of all times comes from Léo Delibes’ opera Lakmé: The «Flower Duet» for soprano and mezzo-soprano is a favorite not just in concert halls, but has proven to be a hit in commercials and films. And Lakmé’s «Bell Song» is a favorite showpiece for soprano virtuosos. The title role is ideal for one of the most exciting French voices of our time: Sabine Devieilhe. Her soprano combines the lightness of crystal-clear coloratura with warm, colorful lyricism. Devieilhe has previously thrilled at the Opernhaus Zürich as the title role in Donizetti’s Fille du regiment, and as Sophie in Strauss’ Rosenkavalier. Her 2017 album Mirages, which took listeners on a tour of late 19th century composers who had been inspired by the musical colors of distant lands, included highlights from Delibes’ Lakmé. Leo Délibes enjoyed success in Paris as a ballet composer with Coppélia and for Lakmé, his best-known opera. It premiered in 1883 at the Opéra Comique, and is about the unhappy union between British officer Gérald and Lakmé, the daughter of Nilakantha, a Brahmin priest fighting against the colonial rulers. Alongside Sabine Devieilhe, this concert performance features Edgardo Rocha. He is a highly acclaimed bel canto tenor, who has appeared numerous times at the Opernhaus Zürich in a variety of Rossini roles, including the title role in Le Comte Ory, Narciso in Il turco in Italia, and Cavaliere Belfiore in Il viaggio a Reims. The cast is rounded out by bass-baritone Philippe Sly as Nilakantha and baritone Björn Bürger as Frédéric, two promising young singers making their debut appearances at the Opernhaus Zürich.
