Bizet - Au fond du temple saint (tenor vocal)

guide vocal track

Georges Bizet’s “Au fond du temple saint” from Les pêcheurs de perles (The Pearl Fishers) is the celebrated duet where Nadir (tenor) and Zurga (baritone) recall their vision of the veiled priestess Leïla and renew their friendship despite rising jealousy. Built on a serene, hymn-like theme in luminous E major, the music blossoms into expansive legato lines and radiant close harmonies. This tenor-only guide vocal spotlights Nadir’s soaring lyric phrases, providing clear entrances, breath cues, and phrasing to support confident practice and performance. This is the guide vocal demonstration track, recorded with a live studio orchestra.
