This summer, the Bridewell Theatre in the heart of the City of London will become the home of new and innovative opera productions.

Austrian composer Alexander Zemlinsky (1871 - 1942) used Oscar Wilde's unfinished play A Florentine Tragedy as libretto for his one-act opera, wich was first performed on 30 January 1917 at Staatsoper Stuttgart.

The opera is a psychological thriller which involves an erotic triangle of a woman, her husband and her lover. Their explosive encounter soon becomes a cat-and-mouse game, and when the tension erupts into violence, there can only be one winner.

This new production of Alexander Zemlinsky's masterpiece is sung in English and accompanied by piano.
