A concert performance of a rare Puccini opera.
Sadly, his entry didn’t win and so he later returned to it, re-wrote certain parts and relaunched it to considerable acclaim in Milan. Unfortunately, being a relatively short opera, this early gem was soon eclipsed by the titanic successes of “La Boheme”, “Tosca” and “Turandot”. As a result, this Gothic, Central European story of an unfaithful mortal who is forced to dance himself to death by vengeful fairies (and yes, this is indeed the same story as the much more well known ballet, “Giselle” by Adolphe Adam!), all but disappeared, unjustly, from the verismo repertoire. It remained rarely performed until a few years ago when our friends at Opera Rara made an award winning recording starring the famous Albanian soprano, Ermonela Jaho, who many of you will have seen bringing down the house in our Silver Anniversary Gala Concert with the BBC in July 2025.So in keeping with our tradition to offer our audience at least one “must hear” rarity each year, we have asked John Andrews to conduct a cast of exceptional young singers and musicians in what promises to be an evening of soaring melodies and glorious singing!
