DELIBES – Flower Duet (from the Opera ‘Lakmé’) – FOUR CELLOS

The “Flower Duet” is a duet for soprano and mezzo-soprano in the first act of the tragic opera Lakmé, premiered in Paris in 1883 and composed by Léo Delibes. It is sung by the characters Lakmé, daughter of a Brahmin priest, and her servant Mallika, as they go to gather flowers by a river.
