Delibes Lakme Theatre & Performing Arts


Delibes Lakme, features the famous 'Flower Duet', is now forever associated with that BA ad. Performed in English by Guildford Opera.

Lakmé is the daughter of a Brahmin priest and he’s an English army officer. The clash of manners and customs drives the action, which moves between the heady exotic confines of a sacred Temple and a colourful cosmopolitan bazaar.

Featuring the famous 'Flower Duet', which has become one of the most familiar numbers any composer has ever written and now forever associated with that British Airways advert, Delibes’ music reflects the cross-cultural tensions, with lyrical melody weaving through oriental harmonies and rhythms. At the same time, flashes of comedy arising from characters at odds with their surroundings lighten what is inevitably a tragic outcome.

'Lakmé' is at Holy Trinity Church, Guildford on Friday 12 May, 7.30 pm and Saturday 13 May, 6.30pm.
Please note the earlier start time on Saturday. The production is fully staged with piano duet accompaniment and sung in English.
Tickets £20 (students £10) from Guildford Tourist Information Centre www.visitguildford.com or 01483 444334
