william and mary (ITV)

Last week in the last of the series, William (Martin Clunes) is sitting at the table with his friend, playing guitar and they are singing an opera duet. I am desperate to know what it was they were singing. Can anyone help?

It was called " The Pearl Fishers"and it was written by Bizet.  It was recorded in 1951 by Robert Merrill and Jussi Bjoerling.  It is a beautiful recording.  The duet in William and Mary was very moving too wasn't it?.

I think the duet is "In the depths of the temple" from the opera 'The Pearl Fishers.'

Cheers
