His first work was an operetta of not much consequence, "Docteur Miracle," written in 1857, and in the same year he took the Grand Prix de Rome. On his return from Italy he composed "Vasco de Gama" and "Les Pecheurs de Perles," neither of which met with much success. In 1867 "La Jolie Fille de Perth" appeared, and in 1872, "Djamileh."
It is a tuneful and effective work, but cannot be called an advance on 'Les Pêcheurs de Perles, In 'Djamileh' , we find the real Bizet for the first time. The story tells of the salvation of a world-wearied youth, who is won back to life by the love and devotion of his slave.
'Le Désert' founded the school, of which 'Les Pêcheurs de Perles, 'Djamileh, 'Le Roi de Lahore, and 'Lakmé' are well-known representatives. The career of the other musicians many in number of this facile and thoughtless epoch may be summed up in a few words.
