Dome epais: Flower Duet from Lakme

Lakme is set in a province of nineteenth-century India under British rule, and the opening scene, during which this duetis heard, takes place in the beautiful gardenof the temple built by the Brahmin priest, Nilakantha. He hates the British invaders (for one thing, they have forbidden him to practise his religion) and the plot hinges around the clash between this hatred and the love between his daughter Lakme and the British officer Gerald. Before Gerald appears, Lakme and her slave Mallika sing this duet as they prepare to bathe in the river.
