Au fond du temple saint (Deep inside the sacred temple) is a duet from Georges Bizet's 1863 opera 'Les pêcheurs de perles' ('The Pearl Fishers'). The libretto was written by Eugène Cormon and Michel Carré. Generally known as The Pearl Fishers' Duet, it is one of the most popular numbers in Western opera – it appeared on seven of the Classic 100 Countdowns conducted by ABC Classic FM. It is sung by Nadir (tenor) and Zurga (baritone) in act 1 and has been performed by many famous singers, including Andrea Bocelli and Bryn Terfel. This arrangement for two euphoniums and concert band retains the original key and recitative sections to present the most authentic version possible.
