Guildford Opera are performing  Bizet’s opera The Pearl Fishers, in English, at Guildford’s Holy Trinity Church on Wed 18 June and Friday 20th June at 7pm and Sat 21 June at 6pm. With evocative lighting  and accompanied by a chamber orchestra, the church is transformed into a fishing village in Bahrain where the tragic love story between the priestess Leila and two friends Nadir and Zorga unfolds.

Working with experienced music and stage directors, we seek to achieve a high musical and dramatic standards.
