In A Florentine Tragedy, based on Oscar Wilde’s play, a merchant discovers his wife is having an affair with the Prince of Florence. A cat and mouse game ends with a brutal kill and a stunning twist, set to Zemlinsky’s ravishing late-Romantic score. This rarely seen opera is part one of a double bill that concludes with Puccini’s tour-de-force comedy Gianni Schicchi, in which family members frantically scheme to benefit their own greed. Puccini shows a masterful comic touch with this swiftly paced one-acter, featuring the beloved soprano aria, “O mio babbino caro.” Sung in German/Italian with English SURTITLES™.
