An opera in three acts by the French composer Georges Bizet, to a libretto by Eugène Cormon and Michel Carré. Set in ancient times on the island of Ceylon, the opera tells the story of how two men's vow of eternal friendship is threatened by their love for the same woman, whose own dilemma is the conflict between secular love and her sacred oath as a priestess.
