contents A $\mathfrak{g}$-oper for a simple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ is a specific type of flat principal bundle on an algebraic curve. When the base field is of prime characteristic $p$, those with vanishing $p$-curvature are called dormant $\mathfrak{g}$-opers, and they form finite and geometrically meaningful moduli spaces. In earlier work, a canonical duality was established between dormant $\mathfrak{sl}_n$-opers and dormant $\mathfrak{sl}_{p-n}$-opers. This duality has provided effective tools for the study of higher-rank cases, as well as for the computation and structural understanding of the associated enumerative invariants. The main result of this paper extends this duality phenomenon to classical Lie algebras of type B and C. More precisely, under the numerical condition $p-1 = 2 (\ell +m)$, we construct a canonical isomorphism between the moduli spaces of dormant $\mathfrak{so}_{2\ell +1}$-opers and dormant and $\mathfrak{sp}_{2m}$-opers with prescribed symmetric radii.
